If anyone has visited us in Los Higos, they certainly have met Meri (shown above with Arlene). She is like our mother in that she feeds us lunch as well as fusses over us as if we were her children. Meri has been praying for a new house for several years, and has been collecting materials over time to build one. Last week, SI's construction ministry, Casas Para el Futuro, began building a new house for Meri. When the house is finished, Meri and her husband, Ramon, wil make monthly payments to pay off the house. The house, shown below, will have a typical Dominican layout- a living room on one side, with two bedrooms on the other. Meri hopes to keep her old house, and someday fix it up a little better so it can be used as a guest house for when missionaries are visiting.
