The combination of poorly galvanized pipes embedded in concrete, and very hard water, caused the early corrosion of the pipes. Ceramic tiles were falling off the wall due to moisture and poor installation. Many fixtures were corroded and beyond repair in the bathrooms. Considering all this, the process began. When all was said and done, there was a new roof on the house, a complete paint job inside and out, three new interior doors, and two remodeled bathrooms.
Maine is very cold during the winter months.
Those same winter months are considered our summer and the warmest time of the year. The few days that they spent with us were truly a blessing. Please pray for not only the Mason's, but also for other families and singles, who the Lord would send to the mission fields. However, our ministry and church here in the country of Venezuela has had a wonderful door of opportunity open up to us within the past few years. In September 1999, we had our Vacation Bible School on a local public school premises, focusing on virtues and character qualities from the Scripture.
