GRACE 2015 – FINAL ENTRY

Written by Teddie on June 18th, 2015

We had no internet access on Tuesday night which meant no entry to this blog.  So, I will summarize the past two days in this entry.

Our Tuesday went extremely well as the team was completely finished with the twenty five houses by 3:00PM.  Wait, the number was 24, not 25.  At breakfast on Tuesday morning, Lazaro shared that one of the families in our feeding center program had been displaced and were homeless.  We had a team go back the materials and build a house for that family on Tuesday as well.  So, this team built 25 houses lock and key when all was said and done.

We gathered in the upper room at 5:00PM for our share time.  As always, that was a special time.

Our Wednesday consisted of the team going back to the village to dedicate the 24 houses there.  We divided into four groups with each group dedicating six houses.  There was one profession of faith during those dedications.  Praise the Lord!

It was then to Rincon Suizo for lunch.  Good food and great fellowship.

We then came back to El Tejar.  One group went to put the door and window on the 25th house and then to dedicate it.  Everyone else began to get ready to leave.  Pastor Keith Martin and the folks from Kennedy Baptist Church left the mission house at 8:00PM as their flight departed Guatemala at 12:20AM.  I am typing this at 3:30AM Guatemala time and the computer says their plane is basically landing now in Atlanta.

The rest of the team left the mission house at 3:00AM.  Everyone except Bro. Chris is flying United and is scheduled to arrive in Mobile at 12:59PM.

This has been a really good team.  Great attitudes.  Great work ethic.  Great worship.  It was a joy to be a part of this experience.

Pray for safety in travel today.  Thank you for following us on this blog.  I apologize for the lapse in the internet service.  Blessings!
