Today was a tiring but wonderful day. We built a house for Dora and Abraham Sarazua. They are very nice people and they thanked God for what we gave them. They stared to cry and pointed to the sky. It made everybody on the team almost in tears, too. We really felt the good of God in ourselves. We started to pray and Dora and Abraham prayed in Spanish and they were crying at the same time.
We played soccer with the kids, or as they call it, futbol. They were way better than Kolby, Will, and Cole. They were laughing the whole time because they knew we were terrible.
The second house we built for was a widow named Lorena Marroquin. She had lots of children and when we gave them candy and treats they could not get enough. Lorena had tears of joy because she finally had a place to put all her children. Each person we built a house for received a Spanish Bible with everyone's name and a verse we like. I think they will enjoy it. Both people that we built houses for said we were a gift from God. This made our hearts fill with love.
