RAIN!!!!

This morning the team left to head back to Canada. Only a few hours later God tested their work! It POURED here for about an hour. The three families whose houses were covered were so excited to get water from their new gutter systems!

After taking a group pictures Mark prayed with Marenn to dedicate her house to God.

We then crossed the street to Naderge's where Russ prayed for her family...

...and then we went on the Wilda's where Allen prayed with her and her children.

Afterward Jeffson and Bendji wanted a picture with Russ, Josh and their little houses.
