Loving the Least of These

Well I am finally at Casa and loving every single minute of it. The kiddos are awesome and sooo much fun. This morning the group left around 11:30, and it was a lot harder to see them go than I had imagined it to be. Lots of tears, Im pretty sure every single one of them would have stayed if they could have. Im already missing everyone. We had such an awesome week. But it is a blessing for me to be here, it really is.

The week was amazing to say the least..God blessed it in soo many ways. The group worked very hard and represented Jesus well. I was very proud of our group. We had prayed for opportunities to arise while we were here for us to be a blessing, and God gave us many opportunities! One quick example..we were supposed to go build a house on Tuesday..but welcome to Honduras, the wood didnt show. So some of us went to Nuevo Oriental{a feeding center} and a man came and asked us to build a house for his friend, not for him, but his friend. He was such a humble man, and a sweet sweet guy. So he showed us a plastic 7 x 7 house on the side of the mountain where 7 kids were living with their parents, with one mattress and the youngest child in the hospital with pnemonia because when it rains their mattress became submerged in the water, there for this one year old baby was very sick. So the next day we got the wood and part of our team built a mansion for this family...ok it wasnt a mansion..but compared to what they had it was pretty close. We also bought them 2 sets of bunk beds and a hammock to put inside. The family was thrilled, and it was an awesome day. Its really cool to know that one more family has a roof over their head, beds to sleep in that wont get wet, and a place that they can really call home.

Ok I have TONS more stories to share...but I think some of us are going to go out to dinner here in a bit. Hopefully Ill get some pics up tonight or tomorrow!
