This week was cooler fortunately. The team I was working with was almost all HS age with about 6 leaders that had some construction experience. Needless to say this week was a much easier build than last week. We finished in two days with time to dedicate on the second day. We went back there on the third day for evangelism and had about five people make a decision. The team was so funny. They had a redneck theme for their trip and had all adopted redneck names. They gave me one too; Jethro. The family we built for was Roberto and his wife Maria. They have five kids: Karla 11, Alexis 9, Janet 6, Michel 4 and Cecilia 1. They were living in a very small house with a dirt floor and scraps of wood for walls. Because the plot of land was small, that house had to be demolished to make room for the new house. As a result the kids stayed with their grandmother and the parents slept in their car for 10 days. They were so happy at the dedication.

Don, this is Don from the Come Alive Church Team. I have been trying to get in touch with you so that you do not delete the pictures or video that you downloaded from Nancy's camera. Somehow after that she lost all of her pictures and we hope you still have them. If you do, please let me know. Maybe you could burn them on a CD and mail them to us. We will pay for whatever cost it is to you. I can be reached at donjagers@mac.com or 609-668-1605. Thank you!
