pala-u goodbye

so i'm leaving pala-u tomrrow. and i think this will be the last update for you guys. you'll just have to wait til i get back to hear about my last week here. haha... anyways. we finished the cement for the family last night. we worked another 4 or so hours til like 9 at night i think. and finished the back of her house. let me just say. it was truly the Lords project. so we had 6 bags of cement left to do the back. and about getting half way through. i looked at the materials disappearing and wondered if we'd be able to finish. last two bags of cement was being mixed. and the rocks were running out to mix in, and i was like. Lord your faithful to complete your work. but, i didn't really believe it. because you had to see for yourself. there was no way we had enough. but the cement kept coming and as they shoveled in the last bit it was just enough. i mean. we couldn't even do 2 more inches. it was amazing. i couldn't believe it. the Lord is good. so today i went by and took pictures of it finished and prayed for the family and said bye. so a few more days here and i'm gone. not sure what i'll be doing. i know two things for sure. going to the slums in bangkok, where i met a guy the first sunday i was here. hopefully he's there. and i'll be going to the floating market. and church of course on sunday in bangkok. well hope all is well. see you when i get home. ;)

thank you

thanks to all that prayed and gave. it truly blessed this one family. like i mentioned about the stove for the family. we were able to pour a cement sidewalk around her house. to help stop the mud from geting in the house. when it rains. we had people from all over helping. it was like a mini extreme home makeover. haha.. you guys provided the supplies and workers. it was a long crazy day. from 630 am to 5 at night. nothing like getting your hands dirty for the Lord. the wife of the family told me she wont forget what we did for her and will be praying for us. also. it was a saturday we gave the stove to her. and she gave testimony at church the next day on how God provided for her family. what a blessing it is to hear that. i'm gonna take some pics today or tomorrow of the cement all done for you all to see. saturday i leave to bangkok and will be staying there til wednesday....when i come home... ahh!!! less than a week. thank you for your prayers. please continue to pray. my time here isn't finished and i'm still able to bless when the oppurtunity comes. see you all soon.
