Today was our first day of construction. I can honestly say that everyone did awesome. We all worked well as a team and got the work done.
Thank God it wasn't super hot where we were. It was hot and sunny but there was shade and a nice breeze.
After we got done filling the foundation we were building, some of the group went out to the village to do VBS with the kids. There were so many Haitian kids who came out and watched us work. Some helped. It was neat to spend time with them. Got lots of pictures.
We got to meet the lady whose house we are building. She works here at the mission. She was so thankful. She lost her house in the earthquake and has 12 people living with her. Right now they are living in a tent.
Keep praying that God reveals himself through us and our actions.

So proud of you Stephanie (finley) for following through with this calling.. You and your group are a ray of hope for those people, and I am sure God's presence will be known.. Work hard and stay focused on the tasks at hand. We are all here praying for your mission.. Can't wait to see your pictures and read your stories.
