Almost 4 walls up!!!!! Day 5

Day 5 started with helping to build Vilma and her family’s home. There was lots of action going on around the house. There were more supplies to be purchased and lots of little hands waiting and hoping to help as well. Vilma’s children are so proud to be a part of building their new home. Even though since the hurricane and volcano eruption, this family’s faith has remained strong and steady. Before the work began we all took some time to reflect and thank God for all the blessings that are going on here and all over the world. We all feel this is the Guatemala version of “Extreme Home Makeover”. Each person’s contribution is so vital to the completing the project on time. The family’s Pastor has been there everyday helping to build along with everyone. He has been such an encouragement to the family and the team. He too knows what it is like to live through hard times and depend on God for everything each day. With the work that was completed today we are on track for completing the project on time before we all have to say goodbye.

For the third day of VBS we had 55 children arrive eager to participate in the songs, crafts and English teachings! Our true desire is to see each one come to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. The children were eager to learn the words to Jesus Loves Me in English, and doing the actions to the song seemed to enhance their ability to understand the words that they were singing!!

The relationship that we are building through God with these children and their families is something that will change all of our lives forever.
