Roosters Crowing

At home in Canada I wake up to an alarm clock. Here in El Salvador it is to the rooster crowing. He starts at about 4 am. I love waking up to that sound. It makes me know that I am back in El Salvador. I am essentially back home. I truly love this country. When I go home to Canada I always say I leave my heart here in El Salvador.
Today we are going to the village of Las Brisas. This is where Canadian teams built 123 homes. Two of Bethany teams built in the village. All the homes are complete now. Each family has a home. We want to make sure that even though the homes are complete we have not forgotten them or abandoned them. They are still in our hearts. We still want to minister to them.

We are also going to San Felipe to meet the famlies we will be building for. This year I felt that we as women on the team should go and meet and visit with some of the local women in the village. We have hired a female transator to spend the mornings with us so we can have an opportuinty to visit and pray with the women. We want to hear their stories. We want to be Christ hand extended and pray with these women who have had to endure so much. May we have open hearts to be used by God in this new ministry. May God be glorified in all we say and do.
