Well, it has been a busy and amazing couple of months since I last updated you all. We had five church groups in back-to-back and I had the privilege of having a few people come visit me. : ) Lindsey, Michael, and Scott from my Bible study group in the Atlanta area came out for a week and just left yesterday, and my sister Hannah came a couple of weeks ago. They were such an encouragement to have here! What a joy to be able to share with them what I'm learning about missions here and to be challenged by what they learned here as well! I'm so thankful for the Body of Christ.

I want you all to meet Eneida, her husband Ricardo, and their 4 children. I know so little about her story but as we all gathered around to pray before building the house I held her as she sobbed out words of gratitude for the 12x12 room the 6 of them will call home from now on.

Sweet Eneida, Ricardo, Ricardo Junior, and Esmeralda

Michael, Lindsey, and Scott came with me for a house interview


    We had a project day for just us staff when there weren't any groups in. We went out to dig a hole for a baño, fix someone's roof, paint a house, and of course...play soccer with the niños! It was such a fun day! : )

Check out this amazing stove....one of the families
 we helped out cooked us breakfast and lunch on this.: )






I had to throw this in....just your typical baño adventure!
