Amazing Grace, How sweet the .....Home.

Beloved,
Another day has passed and your team is making wonderful progress with the house and getting to know the family who we are serving.

It's been warm, and very, very sunny and there is dust (no, dirt) every where.   The temperatures have been in the 80's, and the sun is laying a good tan (aka sun burn) on everyone.  In the evening, it has cooled down nicely to a comfortable70 degrees.  

This morning, our devotional started at 6:30.  Don Harada spoke on the role of the church and how we are commissioned to make disciples throughout the world.  It is good to be here in Vincente Guererro and to serve our Baja family - Eric, Lydia, Janet and little Israel.  Eric has been working very hard with the team in building his home.  He is very thankful and always has a smile on his face.

Today was all about getting the roof on the house and painting the house.  Thank you for your prayers as your team did very well, and there were no injuries.  PTL !  The team did a terrific job and the pictures below speak for themselves.  You'll see that the home is very colorful.  We worked well together and got everything done and more.  Your prayers sustain us.

Please pray that VBS will go well tomorrow and the rest of the week.  At this point, we are expecting around 60 kids but are planning for 100.  It doesn't matter how many come.  We trust in God that souls will be saved for His Kingdom.  Thank you for your prayers.

In this morning's worship time, we sang "The Power of Your Love".  The refrain spoke to us - "And as I wait, I'll raise up like the eagle.  And I will soar with you.  Your spirit leads me on.  In the power of your love."   We rest under the wings of God.  We will build His house.  We will not be tired.

And we will praise Him,
Your Baja Team..

The Ladies led by Kathy Harada were off to a fast
start with paining the trim which would be installed last.

The interior crew led by John Callin was constructing 3
bedroom interior while the painting crew was already painting
the walls.  Thank you, Donny, for keeping the team moving.

The roof was constructed into 4 quarter panels.
Everyone was nvolved in getting them on the
roof.  Very Exciting !!!

Panels are installed to cover the roof, and up goes the bright
yellow trim.  Eric is on the top of the roof working hard.

 

Even the outhouse gets painted.  

Amazing Grace - In just 2 days, the basic home is completed.
You had to be here to believe it.  Everyone's help was needed to
make this happen.  We are a team. Thank you for your prayers.
Still more work to be done.

We not done yet, but there are a lot of smiles on the faces of
the family.  We are all smiling too.  Thank you, Jesus.
