Before and After

During one of our first visits to the Casa Hogar San Jose when we moved here in the fall the head mother of this catholic home identified a project that she said was the most urgent in her mind. They wanted a new roof for the area where they wash their clothes and hang them out to dry.

With the visiting men's group that was here the weekend before Thanksgiving we were able to see that project come to fruition. As we prepared for the project before the men arrived in Cancun, we realized that nearly all of the wood structure underneath needed to be replaced as well. So one day with the men we did the demolition and preparation, and the next day we built the new structure and put on the new roof.

The Mothers were extremely pleased with the finished project, and in general continue to express just how blessed they have been our presence and support. They have started referring to us as their superheroes. We won't put on our capes just quite yet! Praise the Lord that He is using us to be a blessing in this home.
