Greetings! Sorry for the lack of information but I could not get on the internet. The week has been great! The folks on the trip have been great! The weather has been great! The Lord has been Great!

We had a group of 8 folks from Knoxville, TN join us Tuesday and Wednesday as their mission projects did not materialize. They were a great group of adults and a lot of fun to be with as we worked together to build houses. We finished all our houses on Monday except for the fronts. The concrete was mostly finished Monday night. On Tuesday, we completed the houses and dedicated all 15 and were done by 1:30 PM. We took the group to Antigua and had a late lunch. Then we went back to Alotenago and did our second food distribution for 100 families. (The first was on Monday night in the same village but in a different location.)  We got home and had pizza at 7:00 PM. This was a great day as we shared the gospel, dedicated the houses, and gave gifts including blankets made by the group from Oak Grove Baptist Church, King’s Mountain, North Carolina; Bibles for each house, and other items for the families. The evening was topped off by a wonderful fellowship time.

Today (Wednesday) has been spent going to the seminary for a tour, going to the Mall nearby, and then off to a special needs orphanage. We are now back at the mission house and have washed a van, truck, and will do the last van after we take it somewhere to get a tire repaired as it is going flat.  Bro.Paul is taking a large group around the property and showing them all the coffee plantation and buildings.

Tonight, we will have a great meal and then a time of fellowship before we begin our preparations to return to the states.  We leave the mission house tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM and both groups will fly out about 12:30 PM but on different airlines.  It has been a great week but we are ready to get home.

P.S. Tena found her anniversary gift as I was talking to her on the phone! It was great!
