Meet Efren, Adrian, and Adriana. I just returned from their house that we are hoping to work on with the upcoming groups. This family lives in this room where I am taking a picture. It is about 10x10 and has a kitchen, a bed, a crib, and a small TV. They have a roof on it, but it is just a tarp and some wood. The rest of the house is actually very nice. It is brick walls that were built and have remained not finished. Probably because the twins, Adrian and Adriana, are expensive. They all go to church and are very happy and loving. There smiles are obviously unbeatable and I became friends with them the moment that I met them. Efren even gave me a big hug right after meeting.


Even though the floors are dirt and there is no roof on the house, it really could be a nice place to live. But until then, these kids laugh and love and aren't even bothered that where they live is so small.


Of the four groups that we have been working with, two have cancelled, and one is having a hard time convincing the group. The other is coming at the end of this month and this is one of the two projects that they will be working on. The other is a floor for a 20x30 house that will provide shelter for three families so that they can build a house for them. It will be built on this piece of land as shown to the left.
I love being able to work on projects like this and to figure out a way to make things like this happen. Continue to pray for the groups that are coming and that God would be able to help us worship Him and serve Him in this context.
