Buena Dia

The house is complete!! I don't know about you, but I'm so excited about it! Today we framed the upper parts of the house so that we could pour concrete and secure the rebar...it wasn't heavy lifting work, but it was a bit tedious. The group put up the roof this afternoon while we were working with the kids. Soo....the house is done!

Today was amazing. It rained (well, sprinkled) off and on all day. This made me a little cold but it was pretty. I got to spend more time bonding with the team and with Raf which was fun. In case anyone didn't know, he's just an overgrown kid. :) but he has such a big heart.

This afternoon we worked with the kids again. They were very well behaved and I really think they got into Mary and Amanda's dance. Everyone was up and dancing! That really touched me and I was glad that I got the experience to see it.

As I said, the house was finished this afternooon so we ventured up to the house after playing and dancing, I got to see a home. Western Hills, can you believe we completed a house? We've improved eight (i think) people's lives. How amazing is that? Doesn't that set you on fire for Christ? We can do so much through Christ! We built a house in THREE days!!

I will admit though, I am exhausted now. Spoons tonight may be too much....
