Thursday, February 23, 2012

So here we are, Thursday is coming to a close and we have so much to be thankful for today! With so much hard work and effort our teams nearly completed all of the 15 homes! We have established some tremendous relationships with the families in the town of Alotenango. Rodrico has been such a blessing to our team. He was born in Guatemala and is also a pastor back in Grand Rapids. As we work tirelessly on the construction of homes, and interact with the beautiful children in the village, he has been connecting with the leaders of each household and sharing God's word. He is able to speak with them, and lead them to new understandings they have never considered. What a joy to watch! It completely opens our hearts to see the children so eager to learn and laugh with us. It's hard to think of them as anything other than our own family now. It will be extremely difficult for us to leave. As we sit in our mission house nestled approximately 6,500 ft in the mountains with a view as vast as the ocean, and mountains in our view stretching over 13,000 ft we continue to grow in God, and thank him for this opportunity we have to share the word, and hopefully change the world. One family at a time. Thank You Lord. We love you with all of our hearts and all of our minds.

-Daniel & Alison
