Hey friends!
Thanks for all the encouraging notes and wall posts and messages. we love you all so much.
Can't believe we're already at day eleven! The nine people from the two-week crew [Rachel, Rachel, Kelley, Sarah, Jason, Steve, McKenzie, Olivia, and Maggie] are headed home tomorrow. The rest of us will be sad to see them go! some conversations earlier this afternoon revolved around what food will be the first meal back in the US... steak and shake, chick-fil-a, milkshakes, mountain dew... we've got a team of healthy eaters. haha. :) Their flight will be leaving PAP at 12:10pm to MIA, then leaving MIA at 8:00pm and arriving at DTW around 11:00pm. please pray for safe travels and that all logistics will run smoothly. I personally won't be with them once they're inside the PAP airport, so please pray for my peace of mind as well. :)
The last few days have been good ones. David was sick from Monday afternoon until this morning, but is feeling much much better today - definitely an answer to prayer. Other than that, things have been going well. Yesterday afternoon, we had a birthday party at the beach property for all the kids from the orphanage. It was so much fun - swimming in the ocean, eating birthday cake, coloring pictures, making tambourines, etc. etc. Lots of joy for sure! I'm sure a zillion pictures will find their way to facebook as soon as everyone gets home tomorrow night!
On the construction front, we finished five more houses this morning, putting the count somewhere in the mid-30s (I think). One woman whose house we finished today was praying as we were cleaning up, "Merci Jesi, Merci Jesi, Merci Signeur", meaning "Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus, Thank you Lord". simply wonderful. that's what this is all about.
To Him be the Glory.

Sooo, word on the street up here was that you wouldn't actually get to read the messages we posted on your blog b/c someone had to post things for you. Yeah, I know, I don't know why I believed it either, it made sense at the time I guess... And that might be why I stopped commenting on your posts. Still read them though! :D Still amazed at the wonderful woman of God that you are and the new creation you are continually becoming in Him. I pray that God keeps you all healthy, strong, and joyful as you do His work.

Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen." 1 Peter 4:11
Thanks for keeping the states side updated. Miss you all terribly! Shine bright and find strength from the one who is the true light. Love you Kim! :D
