Project almost done! (Rose)

We had another fun day today! We started with the roof project. It is looking so nice. One more day it project will be complete.  This team is becoming very close. We work so well together. I love how we can make work fun by laughing at each other or harassing each other. The best part of the day is watching whoever opens the gate a Genesis has to dance before they get back into the van. This includes the Juan, who helps us get to  and from our project but also helps us on the project. 

We visited our last house today, Bethel. The girls are all about soccer (football). They love to play against the Americans. Needless to say, we had a collision with to girls and the game was over for a while. They are both fine. It's strange how medical emergencies are handled in this country. I was so happy that Stacey and I were there to help the intern who was one of the girls who go hurt. 

It was so hard to leave her behind at Bethel, knowing what condition she was it. I felt like I was leaving Lilijanna behind for someone else to take care of her.  I contacted with her tonight and know she is doing better. She will be sore for a while. (The Mom in me came out full force tonight.)

Keep praying for the team to keep up our strength as we do our last project tomorrow and get ready to fly home.

I know, I will leave part of me here and treasure my time I spent helping, caring and grown a relationship with the team and the families here.


Good night and God bless!
