As the ladies were at VBS on Saturday morning the four men joined Pastor Carlos and Mike to put the final touch on this home, the roof. Mike and Pastor Carlos climbed up on those beams as the men started passing the tin up piece by piece. This roof was a little different from others, Christian put extra beams in the support of his roof. He put that extra touch for his family from all his hard work in the shrimp factory as a security guard. Christian put a lot of pride into his home. He was able also to provide the foundation for his new home. Later I heard him say he is going to put a kitchen off from the side door of his new home. Baby steps just baby steps and this 19 x 25 home will come together. As I shared earlier they are blessed to have family all around and they can cook on their outdoor stove until Christian can provide Stephanie with a new kitchen all her own. This home gave this couple a jump start on their life together. Especially after years earlier loosing everything to a tsunami. God provided them twofold by their faithful prayers and waiting for this day to come. I walked over to where Stephane and her family were cooking lunch and said "Your home is complete" As she looked at me her face glowed with a grateful smile. The first day I met her she did not smile and was very quiet and reserved. This past week Stephanie has carried a heart warming smile of contentment and joy over her new home.
