Fish Tacos & Testimonies





What an awesome day! We learned a lot more about Trinidad and her family and have met many of them. Trinidad has eleven children. Two of her daughters and a daughter-in-law insisted on making us fish tacos for lunch today. As we worked, they prepared the meal on a table and open fire right there on the work site. It was educational to see the process they go through to make such a meal and we were blessed to have the added time to fellowship with them and their children. They are a very gracious and grateful family . . . and the fish tacos were among the very best.

The team has done an exceptional job with the house building project. The construction is high quality and we finished the longest of the three days well before most teams generally do. It is so rewarding, after Day Two, to actually see what looks like a house where only a foundation stood 24 hours earlier.

Tonight was Family Fiesta Night, which is when the family comes to 1Mission's base camp to share dinner and fellowship with the team doing the build. We heard a couple of wonderful testimonies tonight - one from a 1Mission house recipient and another from one of our own team members. God is on the move and He's not finished with us yet!
