GRACE ’12 7/26/12PM

Written by Teddie on July 25th, 2012

Today has been a very good day for our team.  They have been flexible and have maintained great attitudes all trip.  What a blessing!

We divided into three teams and went into the two villages to dedicate the five houses.  I have not talked to the other two teams but we saw five folks pray to receive Jesus as their personal Savior today.  Glory to God!

Ross Genzink, Jeff DeJonge, Tyler Compagner, Tim Vandertoorn and Pastor Max Lara did some serious ground leveling work this afternoon in order to build a shelter/storage building for our gardner, Juan.  They then built it with an assist from John Murphy Akins.  Queen Genzink & Deb Van Heck built the door and window.  Anna Akins helped get all the tools back to the tool room.  Juan has this huge smile on his face!

Soy and a cast of thousands have been busy washing vehicles.  Caroline has been preparing supper.  We will meet at 6:00PM for our final devotional/share time and then enjoy supper.  After that, it will be getting ready to leave as we all have the early flights.  The good news is that we are scheduled to arrive home around 3:00PM (Alabama folks) and 5:15PM (Michigan folks).

Parath is going to need to work on the books of the Bible.  It took her forever to find Hezekiah 4:12 this morning during our devotional time.  She did win a slacker shirt for her lack of effort this week!

This trip has been sickness free thus far.  Only one significant injury and that happened when one of our girls hit her thumb with the hammer.  It may be broken.  She is a trooper.  Who is it, you ask?  Here is a hint – at least she was awake this time.

We really appreciate those who have followed us on this blog.  We definitely appreciate the prayers.  Pray for us as we travel home tomorrow.  God is good and we give Him the glory!
