Last Day of Work

Well, it´s friday and so we´re about to start our last day of work. We´ve demolished a house, vastly improved an old house, poured concrete, laid a septic tank for a church, held vbs and lots more. Even more important than the work, though, we´ve made many new relationships especially with the family whose house we´re building and the missionaries whith whom we´re working. Yesterday we handed out vbs T-shirts and just last night, a local youth group holding their retreat at the RMC invited us to join with them in worship.

We´ll be finishing up our part of the projects today, and what we can´t finish will be carried on by those groups who come after us. We´ll also be leaving an offering for the Rural Methodist Center, the El Mirador community, and Brett and Brooke who are missionaries here.

Tomorrow we get to relax! We´ll head to a volcano for a ride through the jungle cannopy, a tour of the volcano, and a dip in the hot springs there. We´re all ready for a chance to unwind and reflect on our service here. At the same time though, we´re going to miss working with the families we´ve grown to know and love. It will be hard to leave our Christian family here.

I´m writing from a different internet cafe today, so unfortunately, I´m not going to be able to upload any pictures, but hopefully, I{ll be able to get a few more up at some point tomorrow, and I will continue to upload pictures after we return.

God Bless!

Your ambassadors in Christ!
