Thoughts from a dedication

Last weekend we built a home with our Board of Trustees in Juarez, Mexico. Lorena & Philip brought their 15 year old daughter Kelsey on the build and she journaled about her feelings during the dedication. She allowed us to share her heart and feelings with you here...

"The dedication was interesting because throughout the preliminary exchanges in English and Spanish... I didn't get word-for-word clarification but I felt like the emotions expressed through the words were more important than the words themselves.  This is the Kingdom of Heaven, here and now, in this 11’ x 22’ house with these 19 people.  It is as if the Tower of Babel never happened."
