New house for Iris and Laureano

Hey friends!

Happy New Year (I won´t bother to throw in an extremely belated Merry Christmas…)!

After a very short Christmas break we had the great pleasure to work with a wondeful, hard working team from Michigan thanks to our friend Rodney. Together we were able to build a house for Maria Teresa and her family in Los Anonos, a nearby neighborhood in which Genesis Construction has worked before. It was a wonderful build because, as stated by a member of the team from Michigan, even though the group of 5 was small, they got a lot of cordial help from the family and members of the community. We have pictures on our Flickr page (have you checked it recently?)

However the real news with this post is that I am overjoyed and humbled to announce that we have broken ground on a house for Doña Iris, her husband Laureano, and their kids (Wilmer, Gabriel, Micheal, Arvey, Joel, and I can´t remember the name of the girl). With men from the center, Alexis and Rodrigo, Big Dave, Chuck (or should I say Hombre Dulce?), my brother Lars (his first Genesis Construction experience) and I, we were able to lay all the foundations for the house by 2:00! We worked hard, we played hard, and it was alot of fun!
Please pray for safety and all around blessings from the Lord as volunteers from Escazu Christian Fellowship and a few other new comers will be working tomorrow and Sunday!

God is great!
Bless you all!
