God is FAITHFUL!!

What a blessing to be back on my feet and at the work site today!! Thank you SO much to all those who prayed! I definately felt the amazing power of prayer. It was really hard being sick yesterday and having to be at the hotel in bed all day but God has healed me and I was able to get back to the worksite today. It{s so good to be back. I{m learning so much here, very different things than I did last year. I got to interview the family that is recieving the first house we built, Esmerelda and her daughter Gabriella. We talked about so many things with her because we had an interpreter with us. She told us about how she met her husband and I told her how I met my fiancee Ryder and Nicole told her how she met her husband. We had some awesome girl talk talking about the amazing men in our lives. It also struck me how recieving this new house for her is like winning the lottery. When I asked her what it meant to her to have this house, she could barely describe it, I{m not sure she even knows yet what this house means. I also asked her what her hopes and dreams were, thinking she would say something like: "I wish I could leave San Felipe" or "I wish I could live somewhere better". But she simply said she is very happy where she is and content with her life, and doesn{t even feel like she deserves this house. She has so little but to her, she has the world, because she has God. Amazing faith.

We went to church in the evening and encountered a LARGE amount of rain during the service. 140 people crammed into the church to keep away from the rain. And when it was time to leave the people who had taken the open air truck from San Felipe to come to church had to drive back in the pouring rain. I pray that we could put this kind of importance on our faith and the opportunity to go to church. It{s overwhelming. Well I{m going to leave it at that. Thanks to everyone for your prayers, God is definately doing amazing things, as he always does.
