GRACE ’09 VI – DAY TWO

Written by Teddie on November 18th, 2009

My “plan” was to allow someone else to write an entry last night but we had internet connection issues and that didn’t happen.  Sorry this is late but when you can’t get online there isn’t anything you can do about it. 

Our Tuesday was busy and productive.  The team traveled to a village (name to come later) where they completely (all four sides, cement, doors, windows) finished three houses, got a fourth ready for the cement, and a fifth one almost to that point.  Not much, huh?  That was done in three hours and fifteen minutes.  Plus, they hosted a VBS during that time frame too.  God blessed them with beautiful weather and they responded well.

They then drove to Panimaquin where they distributed food & clothes to 100 families plus began the process of building another house.  The house build was “tough” b/c they didn’t have the proper supplies but they adjusted and made do. 

So, it was a good day and we thank God for all He did for us.  Today will see them go back to the same village to build more houses, host a VBS, and host a block party with jumpers, cotton candy, balloons, games, et cetera. 

Tim & Peggy Knighten went fishing this past weekend.  We had their catch last night as a part of our supper.  The fish was a mahi mahi (is that spelled correctly?) and it was good.  My only concern is that I saw packages in the trash with stickers that said “use or freeze by 11/20/09” which leads one to ask if they really “caught” those fish?    

Keep praying for this team.  Lord willing, we will post tonight. 

P.S. – Did I understand correctly that Miss Bessie said T. Garrett is on this trip?
