Back Home
Wow! I hardly know where to begin. I met so many amazing people and was blessed by each of them. We are proud that our teams got a lot of work completed during our stay and at the same time realize that it was like the blink of an eye or a speck of sand on the beach when related to all that needs to be done and the time it will take. The people there are resilient and the help flowing in is relentless. It truly is amazing and we can only give credit to God for such a showing of faith, hope and love.
We are back home and still soaking everything in. I hope that people continue to post pictures and thoughts on here as I have heard that many people were checking the blog while we were gone. We are making plans to do several things including: gathering all of the pictures we can to put on cd for all who would like copies, making a multimedia presentation (we have video too) for personal use and for use making presentations to interested churches and groups, possibly compiling some of the pictures and personal stories into a book format.

A totally new house. In this picture you can see a newly installed window, an old window hole now covered, a new closet, a new wall and a beam that replaced an interior wall!

Yep! Those are bugs! Yep! They bit us!
