28 August Thursday

Today was the DAY!!!!…..we’ve done it !!!!!….completed the project…..turned over the house to Condida and her “family”…..on Monday nite it was looking like we might have to cut or curtail some of our list of rehab or updates to the house…..everyone pulled together, worked extra hard and extra long…..(as I write this, Jim and Dom are performing haircuts of an unusual nature on each other and on Trevor)…we finished at about 6:02pm…Gloria rounded up Condida and her family and we had a “Bus Driver….move that Bus! presentation”…..at the end, we formed a circle to pray…the locals went first, with a number of her friends joining Condida in talking to our Lord….Tom went next, along with some singing “Amazing Grace”…awsome moment…no dry eyes in the group….we have really bonded as a team….much laughing and kidding…serious moments, too…..Upon presenting her new house to her, Condida said (as was relayed by our Guatemalan friend Jonathon), “Your reward is in heaven. I can’t repay you.”…..like I said…..no dry eyes…still some unfinished things on Tom’s punch list…most going to the volcano tomorrow…..some going back early to Condida’s to finish up….”see you’all” tomorrow…..”one day and a wake-up”…

  1. Hi John,

    Received the link yesterday, nice pics of the work you and the team did. Bet that was some moment when you presented it to Condida. See you soon!
