We've just returned from a remarkable day in San Jose. After completing the windows and doors, we gathered at the new home and as a team and prayed that God would bless the home. It was a great day for everyone.
We shared lunch with approximately 100 children who had participated with the Youth through the week reviewing bible stories, working on arts and crafts, and learning dance moves.
I wrapped up the day by walking down a path and encountering a little boy sitting in the middle of the path. He looked to be about 3 years old. He asked me, "A donde va?" (Where are you going?) and I responded, "a su casa" (To your house). He reached out his hand and we walked to his home. Maybe it's the fact that we are nearing the end of the week, but I believe we've made a lot of friends here.
I got to finish the day with a group of boys who had not assembled or flown a kite before. We all had fun.
I said good bye to the foreman, Tata, and Valdemir and managed to hold it together. However, there weren't many dry eyes around the house as the new owner of the house tearfully accepted it, our congregation's offering of a book of prayers, and a cross.
A lot of good work was done in the Lord's name this week.
Sounds like an amazing day!
