House Blessing - 1

We piled in the truck and drove the mile or so to the house site, for the event we'd been working for all week - the blessing of the house we'd built. We sang "May Nothing Evil Cross This Door" for the family (and Krista read a Spanish translation of the words), then clapped and sang "Enter, Rejoice and Come In!" as we followed the family into the house (which had had its roof installed just a few hours earlier). We presented the blanket we'd made from shirts off our backs, and enjoyed a yummy carrot cake.
