The Promise Land

     Wednesday we went to a village called The Promise Land. In order to have water these people would have to walk 4 kilometers to get water and carry back two buckets full. The water wasn't even sanitary. To fix that, we would be putting in half a mile of water pipes so that every house can have access to water. The ditches were already dug when we got there, so we could tell the people were excited. Everyone pitched in to help and by the end of the day we were nearly finished. We served dinner to everyone in the village and Kory did a short message. It was a work-filled day but a good one. 

     The next morning we loaded up and headed back to the village. The guys finished laying the rest of the pipes and making sure every house had a spicket to access water. After checking for leaks they said to give it about an hour before using the water. It was awesome to know that now every house would have clean water right there and would not have to walk 4 kilometers anymore. They had been praying for water and God answered their prayers by working through this team. 

     Today is the last day at the school and it is going to be tear-filled. However, I know we will all see these kids again someday and we will never forget them.
