It's Wednesday night and it's already time to start getting ready for our departure. It's amazing how fast this week has gone by. Tuesday was a very busy day. One crew finished up the fronts of the houses while another went to the seminary to help with maintenance items. A third crew went to the orphanage were we were able to love on the children. We all got attached to the children and had a very hard time saying goodbye to the forty-five amazing children and babies we were blessed to get to know. When that was completed the teams got together at the same church that on Saturday the eye clinic was held at for the food distribution. When the trucks arrived nearly an hour and a half prior to distribution time there were already people lining the streets waiting for us. When the big truck delivering the food arrived we had only about ten minutes to unload and organize everything in the church. It was amazing to witness the grateful faces of the 150 families that came through. We were truly blessed by the families that we were able to serve. On Wednesday after an amazing breakfast we headed out to the construction sites to dedicate the homes to the families. It was wonderful to pray with the families. Most indicated they were active in a church and knew Jesus as their personal savior. We had made many friends during the time we had spent constructing the houses and knew most of the peoples names. It was very happy time and at the same time a sad time knowing that we may not see them again. God has truly blessed all of our families in the past week and know that their and our lives will be changed forever. We are all looking forward to seeing our friends and families back at home. Keep us in your prayers. Yours in Christ, Jerry and Toni Deemter
