Well Friday was our last day on the build site. We worked until about 3 pm and then had the individual house dedications. Each of the homeowners was presented with a bible and a cross and asked to say a few words. As is typical for house dedications, there were lots of tears of joy from everyone.
House no 14 was sponsored by the bike ride we did this summer for the Fuller Center. Millard asked me on behalf of the riders to present the cross to the homeowners which was for me an honor and a privilege.
Last nite we had come jumbo shrimp at the hotel that one of the volunteers bought from a local fisherman and shared with the rest of us. They were truly delicious. Hard to believe that the week is over. Like most blitz builds the week flies by really fast. It was so satisfying to see that 16 families will now have a simple decent place to live.
I´ll be posting some pictures once I get home and download them.
Thanks for reading my blog.
