Mission: Accomplished

Today was our final day working on the drill in the village, and it was successful! When we arrived this morning, the villagers had finished laying the concrete slab. We cleaned the final pipes before lowering them into the well, and attached the pump handle. Pastor Alfredo and Emilio gathered the village together to dedicate the well. Our team spoke, telling them how excited we were to get to work with them this week and that our ultimate prayer is that they drink of the living water that Jesus offers. Pastor Alfredo laid out the gospel very clearly and prayed with them for any who wanted to accept Christ. We also had a time to give each family a Bible if they didn't have one. They were so excited, and their eyes lit up when they got it! It was definitely hard to say goodbye, and we are all leaving a portion of our hearts in Honduras. Enjoy the pictures from today, and we look forward to sharing more with you in person in the weeks to come! Adios!
