We arrived late Friday. On Saturday morning we left for Barranca. Yesterday and today, we have been assessing the social housing needs in the community of Las Palmeras-Puente Bolivar. We are experiencing some different emotions visiting these precious people in their homes. We don´t realize in Canada ¨how good we have it¨.
We were able to identify about 15 homes to renovate or replace. We will have a final meeting tomorrow to decide how many we are able to help. Many are single moms with 2, 3, 4, 5, etc... kids.
Hannelore bought 50 chairs for the church in Puente Bolivar. We also bought some chairs for the single moms whose houses we replaced last time we were here.
All of us are doing fine. We forget our e'mail addresses...so we are relying on this blogspot to inform all of our friends and family. So, if you visit, please leave your e'mail address or e'mail us.
I preached last night in the church in Barranca. The response at the altar was enormous. Pastor Pedro has been with us for two full days.
Talk to you later.
John and Hannelore
