The children at Casa de Esperanza were all eating at little tables. Most of the kids had outgrown those little tables. Marc decided to build a table bigger than the ones at which they had been eating and not quite as big as an adult table. He also decided to build one long table instead of several shorter ones. Marc built the table with plans to use some wood dough to fill in some spots, sand it and paint it. All that building was too much excitement for some of the kids. They so wanted to help. And, of course, Marc let them, taking the opportunity to teach them how to do a few things. Oh my. They used enough wood dough for thirty tables and sanded and sanded and sanded. The kids had so much fun. Then it was painted a nice shiny brown. Everyone was so excited. They wanted to take it over to the house and eat off of it long before the paint was dry. Marc would barely touch it to see if it was dry. Everytime, that it was not ready to move, there was just a bit of disappointment. At long last, it was completely dry and ready to move. Everyone wanted to help move it and I think everyone did help move it.
Now at every meal, the kids are enjoying eating at their new table. Aren't they cute?

Dear Terri,
The truths you teach through pictures and your blog have had a major impact in my life over the last year. The table is beautiful and the children are beautiful...Through this busy time, keep your eyes on Jesus rather than the circumstances. That makes all the difference when you are without electricity or have no computer and stuck in a dorm. {{hugs}}
I need to email you after such a nice email I just read from you.
Maybe tonight after church I will have some time.
The picture of Cindy holding her gift really made my day. Thank you.
I know the kids will love the trampoline...some may love it so much they break something but let's pray there will be no ER experiences.
Marc's smile is so amazing. He is such an open book of expression.
