Thoughts From Barb LaCore Olson...

another story for the blog While working at the site on Wednesday afternoon, a local man stopped and commented on what a nice house we were building, and how big it was. I told him that we had added the bathroom and kitchen, so it was much bigger than originally planned. He then told me that he was a Christian and that he gave God the praise for what we were doing in building the house.
He said he so appreciated seeing the bus go around the community to pick up the children for the feeding program at the Children’s Home. He was also glad to see us come down to help the people. He indicated (since I can’t quote him directly) that those who give much will receive. 
I told him that I thought Azacualpa had grown since the Children’s Home had been here, and he agreed. 
I would have liked to speak with him more, but I had some work to do and when I got back he was gone.
It was an interesting conversation, and it made me realize what an impact the Children’s Home and Dago and Dilia’s ministry have had on the community.
