It is Thursday, the last day in La Fragua.  First thing in the morning we stopped at the public elementary school to talk to the principal again about working in the school this March.  While we were there, we were able to watch the children playing football.  

Next was the dedication of the new house.  In addition to the family, a couple very adorable friends attended.

Before the dedication, we spent the time getting to know people.

Finally, after three pastors said a few words, it was time to cut the ribbon and enter the house and make it a home.

We gave them each a cross to wear and Pastor Brian shared the gospel.

Then I presented them with a St. Mark's cross and a Bible for their new home.

Dawn gave them a picture frame.

The boys were quite excited about their new bed, and the family was quite happy with their new home.

Team picture time!

The man in the center is Deacon Oliverio.  He is studying to be a pastor while at the same time working at the Lutheran School and pastoring the church in La Fragua.  When I talked to him last time we were here he said the only books he had to prepare sermons was his Bible and the Portals of Prayer.  Brian bought him four books to help him in his ministry.
