Finally, I am able to get to the Internet cafe to give a small report on our trip.
WOW! The 8 of us have really accomplished a lot this last week.
Ruth Ann, Angie and I built a bridge to replace these old planks that were very unsturdy over the ditch that connects one neighborhood to the new church of Luz de Vida in another neighborhood.This was very important to me as I hated walking those planks last year. The neat thing was that right after we placed it, an older couple came walking down the road and they were the first to use the bridge. They were very grateful for the new safe way to get from one side to another.
Then we were all able to help build the concrete walls for the front of the church. Lots of lifting and mixing...but all worth it to see this building come to life. The really cool thing is that we work side by side with the members of Luz de Vida to build this building.
Next we just finished VBS afternoons with about 27 children. They acted out the stories of Noah, Moses, and Daniel. The time spent with them has to be my favorite. They are so excited to see us everyday and it will be hard to say "Good-bye" tomorrow.
The people who take care of us are VERY amazing! The love that pours out of them is a perfect example of the love of Jesus! I am already sadden to leave them as well. But I know God wants me to take what I have learned and experienced back to my church family in La Porte...
Well I better sign off for now!
In His Grip,
Christie
