Today, we met the families that we will be building for. It always amazes me the faith, courage, and sacrifice it takes for the families to prepare for their new house.
They have to clear their land, which quite often means taking down their current dwelling. But then where do they stay? How do they protect themselves when their house is gone? What do they do when the rain comes, as it did tonight?
God always provides for them. Some stay with family others under a tarp. Some construct a temporary shelter out of discarded materials. No matter what, it takes courage to make preparations.

Hi Julia. I found the mission trip blog and am looking forward to reading the posts so far. I like the picture of you showing that you still have the moves :D. We're praying for all of you. Mary
