Mike and I have been so blessed to be a part of watching these two young people grow up in their church family. These two godly people dated many years as teenagers and matured in their walk with the Lord. They were blessed to have a church family who encouraged the young couples to marry before having their families. Do put God first then their spouses. Nelson and Flo did just that. They both have served as Sunday School teachers for the children of the church now and years past. Which is explains a lot of the blogs later on in this beautiful story. Flo came to a woman's conference provided for her church family a year ago. She came and shared with me Nelson and she had enough money to pay for their foundation. They gave us a solicitation about a year ago. We said we would love to build them a home but they need to pay for their foundation and then we will build their home. Nelson kind of sighed like I hope I can do this. They were planning to marry soon and wanted a home of their own instead of living with Nelson's mother and siblings. But we stand firm on the family providing their own foundations. When Flo shared this that day with me I said okay let's build this home. So at that time she was not pregnant. We had to wait for this year's schedule to come to see who we could fit them with this year. We went to visit Flo one morning to let her know her and Nelson were getting a home in August. So they had plenty of time to get their foundation put in place. When we told her the date she giggled and shared with us this was the due date of their first child. Nelson was not there because he is blessed with a job to provide for his family. This family is so blessed to start out their Christian journey as a couple with a new home, a job and a baby girl who will not have to know what it is like to not have her own home, team leader Derek shared one evening. The team shared how they are so blessed to be a part of such a precious and godly couple who live their lives totally for their Lord.
