The day started out with devotions where whoever wanted to could speak up and tell a time when they witnessed God this week or felt they had missed an opportunity to share Jesus this week. We then loaded the vans to embark on our last adventure to the village. We finished putting the fronts on the last two houses and then prepared for dedications. The team dedicated the first two houses together and then we split up into two groups to dedicate the last 10 houses. At each house a member of the team spoke to the family telling them that the houses came from God, asked about their religious beliefs, and asked if they wanted to accept God into their heart. We gave them house warming gifts which included household items, an audio bible, an adult bible, and a children's bible. To wrap up we prayed with them, sang the doxology, and lit firecrackers. One of the houses in particular had children in need of a bed because the children were staying at their grandparents. Donations from team members allowed a bed to be purchased for the children which will arrive next week. Shout out to Josh, Pablo, and Juan Marcos for translating all day!
Afterwards, two vans went to Antigua to finish shopping while the other van dropped of the locks to the houses and went to the feeding center to play with the kids. Our last meal was a glorious pizza FIESTA!! Team meeting is at 9:30pm and the luggage van will be here around 3am to take us back to the frozen tundra. Thank you for all of your prayers throughout the week, please continue to pray for safe travel, on time flights, and patience.
