Time to complete the projects we've begun. Here's a brief rundown of them... Makes me tired just to think about it all --
5 construction projects, including 2 builds from the "ground up," and a new sign for the Progreso Community Center
6 Vacation Bible Schools
9 painting projects, including the entire inside of the Progreso Community Center
1 Youth Rally
3 Block Parties
Even with the weather, our volunteers accomplished a lot this week. The planned work on Hilda's house is complete. Her home has now gone from a pier-and-beam foundation to a two-bedroom home. It is completely dried in, and just needs another group to come and finish the inside.
The "Bird House" still has birds -- but not on the inside anymore!
The pigeons are still roosting on top of the house, but they can't get in to the attic now... Bad for the pigeons, GREAT for Mr. and Mrs. Varela.Thursday night is always the night we have our closing celebration in Harlingen. First Baptist Church in Harlingen hosted a wonderful evening for us all. Rick gave a report of the activities for the week, and offered a challenge for how churches should continue the missional reform that has taken root in the Valley. Richard Buerkle and a group of teenagers from FBC, Gatesville led the music, a Buckner intern, and a current CBF missionary spoke during the service. It was a good time to reflect on who we are, what we're doing, and why we do what we do...
Friday, it's time to tie up all the loose ends and prepare to go home. We're looking forward to being home again...
Grace and Peace,
Ken and Brandie
