Today is actually Saturday night and I am sitting in my recliner waiting for the last eight of our team to arrive home.   We tried to blog Friday but the Internet was being very temperamental.  

Our day Friday started out with Willie and a few faithful ones leaving early to complete the last three houses which included cement in one, front walls and doors on the other two.  While they were doing that, the medical team went back to the village where pastor Alfonzo is pastor and they spent the morning doing their medical work.  The rest of us did our dedication of each house.  We asked pastor Alfonzo to help us share the gospel and dedicate each house.  We had some language barriers but we seemed to communicate well enough that we knew what each other was thinking.  (I think!)

We were blessed by each dedication and especially when our people that were there had part in the giving of the house in memory or in honor of someone.  We finished the dedications and then went back to the mission house to begin the process of cleaning the mission house, vans, garage, etc.   It takes a lot of work to maintain a ministry like this.  I so appreciate all  of our folks who pitched in to get the job done.

After having our final evening meal, we had a share time with our devotion for the day given by John Crigler from Martin Bluff Baptist Church.  Many shared testimonies of God’s goodness and we had our final instructions to the group as to what to expect on Saturday morning.  It was a great day.  We were also blessed by seeing Daniel & Millie, Juan Marcos, and Max and some of his family.  they joined us for supper and a great time of fellowship.
