Last day of work

Hi dear friends...it's a bittersweet day.
It feeels good to be done the work for now but
knowing we're leaving again for a while
is sad. We are so excited about what was accomplished
with God's help. The weather turned nice the day
we came and it started raining the afternoon we finished.
Is that not the Lord's timing? Praise God for that.
The retaining wall is back filled.
The outside walls of the "Light House For Christ" church
are almost finished and the interior
walls are started. Raffa will keep laying bricks on them
after we leave and making the second story floor as long
as the Lords' people everywhere keep sending the means
for supplies.
Ike will throw tarps over the
walls for a roof for now and have services in the new kitchen
area. It's bigger and not so hot in summer
as the rented house is for services.
We had great sharing time with Raffa today over
lunch. That is a highlight to make friends with
the people here. It's neat to hear how the Lord is
working in their lives.
The park ministry was a sucess again this year.
The woman loved the sharing and learning time.
Their children are in programs with youth while they
fellowship outdoors.
It was amazing to be here after rains.
There is tall greenery everywhere.
The park had to mowed of 3 feet of it before it
was useable this week. I've never been here when there
was so much color in the hillsides.
Oh, and Friday night was a blessing. Val shared with the youth
group about prayer, God's Armour and defeating the enemy
in our lives as believers. Wayne shared a bit about
his testimony over the accident they just had with their RV.
We did our best to join in the wonderful singing in spanish.
We have had a special time here once again and we are so
thankful for all your prayers, love and support.
We couldn't do this without you!
