We wanted to share one God story from today. After stuccoing 3 homes, it looked as though we were going to run short of the material. We still had 2 homes to go. Well, after finishing all 5 homes, we had a whole wheelbarrow of stucco left. We felt like it was the feeding of the 5000. Praise God. He always provides!

Words can not even begin to describe today. We started again at (you guessed it) 5AM. When we arrived at the village, all of the people were so happy to see us again and we were so excited to see them. We have really built a relationship with them-the need to speak the same language is irrelevant. We painted the homes and put on the roofs. We then personalized each home with a painting, scripture verse and handprints so that those we were there to serve would be able to feel the love of God each and every day in their home. We were able to surprise each family with a bed today too. The looks on their faces were priceless. The afternoon was all about dedicating the houses. We prepared for this already last night and this morning. We knew the devil would be at work and he was. When it came time to dedicate the homes, the entire group would surround the home and pray and sing and read scripture while the family who built the home and the Guatemalan family were inside having the gospel presented. It was spiritually exhaustaing yet exhilirating at the same time. Each and every family accepted Christ! Praise God! We saw new birth in Christ. We were so privileged to witness newborn Christians. It is an experience that is difficult to even process. Thank you for uplifting us with your prayers where you are. God worked in mighty ways today and we were privileged to be a part of it.
