GRACE ’11 I – DAY SIX

Written by Teddie on February 4th, 2011

Same routine – early morning post because we had no internet connection last night.  Our Thursday was a good day.  Everyone went to El Rejon to do a block party, medical, and build.  We had a small team come back to El Tejar to work on some houses not too far from the mission house.

The block party was a blast with hundreds of children enjoying the games and candy.  You would think the county fair had rolled into town.  I appreciate Mike Parker and his folks for being willing to help us.

The medical team had seen 226 patients by 1:00PM but I did not get a final count – simply forgot to ask.  Sorry about that!  I do know they worked in shifts as they also helped build & dedicate houses.

The building team now has constructed 28 houses.  Three need cement and a few more need hinges, locks, et cetera but all of that will be taken care of today.  The remaining dedications will take place once every house has been completed.  This team is good at building!

Today will see the medical team head somewhere about ninety minutes away.  The rest of the team will be involved in the dedications.  Keep praying as we begin to cast an eye toward home with most of the team members leaving tomorrow and the rest on Sunday.  We appreciate you taking the time to keep up with us.
