Still loving life in Cuba...

Jamie has phoned in another report from a happy, healthy, excited team!

Friday, January 2 was spent on the farm where most of their work has been so far. So far, they've dug trenches, worked in the fields, made ladders, and dug out a septic tank--only 1 foot left to go until the tank is finished! They expected to be done by the end of today.

The team spent Friday evening at the Presbyterian center with a youth group--they got to hang out, get to know some students, and lead an awesome worship time on the roof of the building. Truly an unforgettable time with the younger members of the Cuban community in which they're working!

Saturday was spent primarily in a center for the handicapped--the team got to spend time hearing about the lives of the people there and encouraging them in their situations. Jamie reports that the one-on-one time they spent was packed with meaning for the team.

She began to tell me about their Sunday morning at church, but her call cut off...I suppose that's to be expected when phoning in reports between countries! Overall, each check-in has been overwhelmingly positive and upbeat--it sounds like everything continues to go smoothly for our Cuban team!

Thanks for checking in! Remember to keep both our students and the people they are working with in your prayers!

Thank you so much for keeping us updated. We were able to hear from our son while he stayed at Willy's house via email and it was balm to the soul! We pray multiple times a day for both of the missions groups and know they are having experiences they will never forget! Cheers to GOD!
