Mission Report - Finishing Up



Day three began with a lot of aches and pains, but the good news was we were nearly done.  We enjoyed a short devotional service with all the groups, before heading out to the job sites.  Only a few hours of work remained on this build!  We needed to add another layer of stucco, sponge it smooth, clean the house, and add another coat of adhesive to the roof.  The team knocked this out, with the help of the new homeowners.  Afterward, Pastor Jeanette led a dedication ceremony, and we turned over the house.  That time was very special, to see how happy this family was to receive their new home.  They were presented with a Bible from 1Mission, and then we were done!  Back to camp for more showers!  Later we went into town for a little beach time, shopping, and a great team dinner.  Of course, some of the men could not behave, and created a small tower of empty oyster shells from the oysters we were enjoying.  Not sure who leads that men’s group, but he probably needs a stern talking to!  We stopped at the orphanage on our way out to drop off some supplies for the children.  Mission accomplished, and we are headed home to our loved ones.  Thank you so much for supporting us, praying for us, and overall allowing us to make a difference!
