I have almost got the landscaping done around here.  I was able to make 3 trips to two different green houses and purchase everything.  We spent pennies compared to what the plants would have cost in the states.  I was able to complete 4 different areas.  and revamp another area.  The biggest bed that we planted is right where all of the groups unload and load.  What fun.  Then I transplanted the roses along the fence and put in some Dahlias and Birds of Paradise.  Wow, does that look different.  With the guard and Nissorios help we dug up some grass and made a flower bed by Estuardo and Noami's patio and between the two apparmtents.  We need some lattice yet to finish that project, all in time.  The pictures that follow do not do it justice, but just humor me and say it looks awesome!

 Before anything was done!

Same area Finished!

One of the loads of flowers.

Project complete.  I can't wait to come back when the plants have grown!

We have the small triangle to complete also, we intend to buy a big palmish type tree and take some lava rock from La Rayna to finish that out.  Hopefully after the team leaves we can complete that project.

Continue to see God in each and every day

Wow!  We have been really busy as we just said goodbye to the Team Allendale (with a special Central Iowa connection) and got ready for the Team Alamo!  Texas is in the house...yall.  It promises to be yet another great group.  It is also hard to believe that in about 11 days, we will be returning to the states.  There is so much to do, process, relive, and look at.  YET, we must stay focused on team 6 here.  The next three days we will be building four homes in La Reyna.  We pray for no rain and for the LORD to have His spirit visible to all.    Well, I need to get up in 5 hours so for now, we will say adios.  We will try to blog some more tomorrow.
