We Have Arrived in Ica,

We have arrived in Ica! HURRAY!! It has taken 2 days to get to our final destination here in Ica and we are all very happy to unpack our bags. WOW what a journey it has been to get here ......The final 6 hour bus ride from Lima Peru to Ica was a very eye opening experience for all of us. The devastation from the earthquake has left many towns in rubble and the people have set up make shift shelters out of whatever they could gather . We have been reminded how grateful and blessed we are.

We will be starting work on our first house this morning Monday........The team is very excited to meet the families we will be building the homes for........We will have more details and pictures this afternoon......Until then, Love and Hugs to all of you from all of us here in Ica

In His Arms;
