GRACE ’11 VI – 11/20/11

Written by Teddie on November 20th, 2011

Obviously, I did not post again yesterday.  Kelley Pugh is the one to blame!

The Friday trip to the zoo with the children from Amor del Nino was an “experience” for our team members.  They could not leave the village as early as they wanted due to the sand/rocks for the final six houses blocking them in.  The traffic in GC was horrendous so they were a little late getting to Amor del Nino.

They had a great time in the zoo even though much of the area was dark and it was very, very crowded.  However, the children had a blast.  It was a night worth remembering for those children.  The team got slow service (very unusual here) in a fast food restaurant on the way home and finally arrived between 11:00 – 11:30PM.  Tired puppies!

Meanwhile, the sand and stone for the cement was very late arriving to the village.  However, the Lord blessed and we were able to get three houses cemented.  God is in control!

Yesterday was great!  We completely finished all 26 houses.  Each home was dedicated and each family received a gift bag which included a copy of the New Testament.  Mark Mast said they were the most meaningful dedications he has ever been a part of in Guatemala.

We are about to go into a church service here with Pastor Josue Chavez preaching and Danny Rossi translating.  Dr. Rex and Kacia Veldhuisen will be leading our worship today with Micha Gerber being the video guru.  Then it will be shopping and lunch in Antigua and then our closing share time early this evening.

Thanks for reading this entry.  I apologize on behalf of Kelley Pugh for it being so late!
