Declare His glory among the nations,
His marvelous deeds among all peoples.

Puerto Rico Day 3

Welcome to Day 3! It feels like we just got here! This was our last day of VBS and our last full day of construction on the mission house. The highlight of today's VBS was a visit from the local fireman who cooled everyone off with his hose. It is such a blessing to have the opportunity to minister to the children of Ponce. Work at the mission house today consisted of more work under the house on the floors, and interior walls continue to go up. The work is challenging in the heat, but rewarding when progress is seen.

Tomorrow will be a half day of construction and a fiesta in the local park. Pray that we will finish strong!

Praying for a "finished race" for the team! 1 Timothy 4:12 "Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." Tristan, we are so proud of you. Not only do you make us proud here, but you make your Father in heaven even prouder!To God be the glory!
