Land Celebration

This weekend we had a picnic to celebrate starting construction of the house. The teen boys from Casa Shalom came over to see the land, and it was fun to spend the day together. Our pastor was able to join the celebration, and we had a great time praying and thanking God for His provision. Some of new neighbors are relatives of Yuliza, and they were generous to let us use their yard for the picnic since our piece of land is just dirt right now.
