Right after Grace came back from El Salvador, Hannah left with some other high schoolers from Reveille UMC to the eastern shore of Virginia to work with Habitat for Humanity. House building ensued, with the kids primarily working on sheet rock. They managed to get a fair amount of work done during the week. They also seemed to really have fun and enjoy each other's company. Thanks to Ellie Manspile for letting me post her photographic documentary of the work and the workers:

Reveille UMC: Mission to El Salvador
In the town of Usulatan, El Salvador, she cries out to God. Earthquakes had devastated the town and rebuilding was slow. She prayed for shelter for her family. God heard her prayer and sent His people from Reveille UMC and Habitat for Humanity to begin the much needed work and to share His love.
They also had a lot of fun meeting new people, learning Spanish, dodging livestock on the road, making pupusas, and visiting lakes, pools, oceans, volcanoes, and the nearby town of Santa Elena.
Thanks to those who did the work and to Gracie Carter and Kirby Collett for the photos.
Wendy's!
