Blessed in so many ways!

We ended our week tonight discussing the highlights of our week. The cement crew shared stories of families they met and were so impressed how the homeowners not only helped with their own floors but the other floors that day too!  The crew always takes plenty of food and donations to share with the families and today shared with neighbor children too. As they tell us the joy from sharing is so evident.  The final cement totals are 259 bags and 31 floors. These new floors will benefit a total of 164 persons.
A crowd was waiting for us at the local clinic in San Francisco de Yojoa when we arrived for the medical clinic!  The morning was very busy but we finished early and were back at the mission house by 3:30 since we had no drive today. The clinic totals for the week were 1060 received parasite medicine and we provided micronutrients for 1366!
God was evident today in our weather. It poured hard while eating breakfast and again as the cement crew walked to the van after finishing their last house. They said the last house was the family that needed help the most- a 17 yr old dad and 15 yr old mom with a 2 yr old!  We thank God for showing us his provision thru the rain (and also thank Ken for praying for good weather too!).
We listened to Tim recite the story of the sheep and goats and thought about our help to a few of the least, littlest and lost.  We were blessed to serve them this week.
We travel home tomorrow. Thanks for praying us thru this amazing week.
Barb for the team.
