Celebration!

Haven't posted the last day because the internet at the hotel was down.

We completed the houses yesterday and dispensed medicine to over 250 patients at the clinic. It is heart wrenching to see mom's waiting all day to get medicine for their children. I can't imagine what it would be like to wait all day in the heat to have your sick child see a Dr and then wait for hrs to get medicine. All without food and water. It is hard when I return after doing a medical clinic and having people complain about our health system. We are so blessed in Canada. I am reminded of the Israelites grumbling in the dessert because of their circumstances. God had provided food and all that they needed and yet they still grumbled against God.

Today was the key giving ceremony. What a blessing it is to hand the keys to the families for their new homes. What a celebration of God's provision. 1o familes now have homes to shelter them from the elements.

One of the women we built a home for had asked God to someday bless her with a home. She told us that the dirt floor that she kneels and prays on is very hard on her knees and legs and she has a hard time getting up. She had prayed that God would provide her with a home that has cement floors so she could kneel and pray in comfort. God had told her He was going to give her a new home. She was patient and God honored the desires of her heart.

We also visited the goat farm in San Antonio Camino. Goats to provide fresh milk to babies and children. The men their milked a goat and we were able to try fresh goats milk. Delicilous! I got lots of photos to show our Bethany youth who raised almost $3000 for the goat farm. What a life changing thing for a family to have fresh milk for their children. To be able to have proper nutrients is huge for children.

Tomorrow is market day and the beach. Please pray for the team as a lot of us are fighting a bad head cold.
