Greetings from the border, since my last post we have still been working. A lot. We put in another full day of labor in on Ms. Aurora’s house. In total, we have replaced 90% of the exterior walls to her house, replaced windows, painted remaining walls, repaired plumbing, cleaned, organized and helped redecorate the interior as well.

It has been a joy for the team to continually chase and be chased by Ms. Aurora’s grandchildren and sit by her and be amazed by her faith and amazing English skills. Our students wrote and decorated flyers to advertise VBS for Wednesday, and we canvassed the Colonial to make sure we got the word out as best we could. We discovered the key was at every house you saw a children’s bicycle or children’s clothes on the clothesline, honk the horn and masses of children come pouring out of the door.

Above are pictures of the last two days of labor on the house. Today we will split the team into two; one team will finish the house remodeling, and the other will facilitate the VBS and hot dog cookout at the church.

Tomorrow I’ll do my best to post VBS pictures. Thanks for your continued prayers!
Wade
