So we're here doing work. One word- amazing. The team is so excited to be on this journey and the people make it all worth while. We visited the school where the last three years of work have been done (concrete, water, teacher's conference, etc) and ventured up to the original water source. I literally began to weep. Watching the way things have moved with God's hand on it has been unreal.
We begin the water project at the elementary school at the base of the Ta Phin village later today. Now it's the process of buying supplies, getting the work team together, and getting things under way.
As I spoke with Lamah, a local who lives near the school. She invited us in for tea and showed us her home. Unbelievable. Her hospitality, pride in her home and her family were amazing. "HE" is doing some great work here through the hands of His people... and we count ourselves honored to be a part of it.
All of the GVI staff say hello and send hugs and kisses to all the teams that have come before. EVERYONE remembers Dan Pollard. I mean everyone. It's craziness. I think they might erect a statue in his honor at some point. He's that huge here, seriously. (I'm trying to get them to make an ice sculpture, but we'll see what we can do)
Gotta go, we love you all. Leave comments on the blog and we'll relay them to your loved ones.
Much love,
The Vietnam Team (via Jason typing)
