Praise God! Sunday was amazing, from the rooster crowing at 4am, the sun rising at 5pm and the coffee already by 6pm. Quiet time was spent in the Word and just soaking up the early morning sounds before the team headed off for breakfast and then to visit the outlying villages. First those who received their homes on previous trips, meeting families and children of all ages. Hard to describe the lushness of the land yet the poor conditions these friendly people live in. They are truly grateful for what the teams are doing and many recognize that these teams are here only by the Grace of God. After lunch(peanut butter sandwiches, watermelon and banana) we headed off to meet the 6 families who we will be building homes for. You can't imagine how hard they have worked to tear down their old shacks and prepare the land for the new metal homes being erected this week. We will be challenged this week since many are on higher ground and rugged climbing. Off to Church now and experiencing everything for the first time. An amazing team which is guided only through Christ Jesus.
