Last Saturday the fourth missions team of the summer boarded the plane to return to their homes. These dear people were a wonderful group (as all have been). They were members of a Presbyterian church and Christian church from Harrodsburg, Kentucky and a Presbyterian church from north central North Carolina. These groups were assigned the task of replacing a floor and porch for a woman in a poorer area of town and also painting a Pentecostal church building. In spite of hot, humid conditions, they kept at it till both jobs were completed with excellence. Tears of joy and gratitude welled up in the eyes of the lady and a plaque of appreciation was presented to the group by the Pentecostal church. 
Present with the group was a doctor, so our church organized a medical fair where we had two doctors avaliable as well as a pharmacist and three nurses ready to respond to people's concerns. I believe we had thirty-seven attend the event. We were pretty happy with the turn-out considering the only time avaliable was a week night. We hope to do this again but in the Aguadilla mall early next yearSunday was an uplifting day with a fine attendance of over one-hundred. New people continue to visit. Two couples keep coming back..both young families.
Next Sunday is Grandparents' Day. It was set for last Sunday but with tropical storm Maria on our doorstep we postponed it a week. I will fill you in on the details next time.
Blessings on your life.
