Today the group who was working on the Los Pinos' house went back to finish it. They were successful and then went to the hospital to cheer up the children there. They sang songs including the Hokey Pokey and made many smiles happen for the sick children there. One little girl in the cancer ward just loved it and asked for them to do it again and again. What a blessing they were to those in the hospital.
The rest of us went to Villada Morales to build 2 houses. One house was for a lady with seven children. We decided to have a ladies house where only the ladies would build it for them. We had a great time, this was the first time in this community for us to build and they really did not know what exactly would happen or what the wood would build. While we were starting to build the evangelizm team starting studying with the lady and her two older children and a man. They returned back to the house some time later and Cisco said, "We have news.." We didn't even have to hear the rest because of the wet hair and clothes we knew that the Lord had added these to the church. Later they also studied with others and one more was added.
When the children entered the house for the first time their eyes were wide and they were very excited. What they had been living in before was not very good at all. They loved the window that they could look out of and see the beautiful mountain. The family was given a house kit that was sent by the Columbus group and she kept saying thank you, thank you. It was a great house and the team worked hard to build a great house for this family. The others went and built a house for a couple with five children. It was also a great house and they got a house kit that was sent by the Colombus group. We also delivered some food bags while we were in this community. Marc is hopeful that with the assistance of the Baxter Institute that a church can be planted there. Pray for this effort and the people in this community who seem to be receptive to the Word. It was a great day!

Just because no one is writing it does'nt mean we are not reading it and praying for all of you! The picture was great and gave me a closer feeling for those you are writing about and God is working His great blessings and love in. Thanks for taking the time and energy to do this for all of us at-homers!
God bless your last days there this year and give you all a safe trip home,
God IS good, all the time. Wonder where I've heard that before? You are all doing so much to glorify the name of the Lord. Thank you! God bless you as you labor for Him.
Love in Him,
Suzan
