Friday - Our last day :( what an AMAZING week


Great verse for the day: Verse Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trust in the Lord with all your heart and acknowledge Him and he will direct your path. We started our day as we watched the volcano Fuego puff up a cloud of ash as it does so regularly and with many morning greetings as the girls pass by. Devos were sweet as we embraced our last work day. 

The week started with many projects we were going to do and were wondering if we could get to them them all. Each of us desired to get as much done as we could prior to cleaning up all the tools and materials that were around each of the work areas. The painting and sheet rocking at the Bethany house or multi-purpose building needed a lot of cleaning following the wall building and painting. The Bodega was full of wood dust and material scraps from the many cabinets that were built. Every tool and leftover material needed to be brought back to the Bodega. The day was a bit of a fever pitch as we wrapped up. God has been gracious to us and we have completed many of these projects.   

Construction wise we completed four new offices, finished sanding and painting several other offices, built custom storage benches for each, built a large new work surface / storage table and especially spent precious with the girls. There were as every day, sweet interactions with the girls as they went about their days. Hugs were frequent and brief conversations with our struggling Spanish as we talked with them and greeted many throughout the day. Looking back over the week we played soccer with the girls, just simple hola’s and lots of high fives. These were our favorite times…  Friday evening we got a chance to reflect on the week to share with each other on our time there and the interactions / God sightings and special moments. It’s been an amazing week…
