Extreme Home Makeover: Spain Edition





Have you ever waited seven years to paint your house? Never had time to do things for yourself or put things off? "Extreme Home Makeover" Spain edition visited the home of Paul and Sarie Anderson in Alovera, Spain. 15 Team members have descended upon this home and the new English house they have started up for english classes. The team scraped and painted the living room and three story hallway - including the ceiling, and painted a bedroom in their personal home. At the English house others on the team cleaned a basement garage room for games, organized the supplies for english classes, hemmed curtains, put together chairs and furniture, and worked on leveling out the dirt (pre-landscaping) in the big yard outside. The team is tired, but very happy that we could do this for Paul and Sarie. We are privileged to be able to do this for them. Diane

Hey Yall! as the English house intern, Anna, who's from Georgia says. From the first night, everyone in the team and the two interns, Anna and Megan, as well as the Anderson family, has hit it off. We're all having a great time here in Spain, and we are enjoying working and helping to make Paul and Sarie's lives just a little easier. We are so grateful that they dedicate their whole lives to their faith, we want to do all we can for them. They spend all their time working with others, that they have no time for themselves, so the team is very glad to do whatever we can to help them. Although some of us are sore and have aching muscles, we are all happy. Please keep us in your prayers for the next week. :) ~Marisa

HI!!!!! Today was a long day. Sarie's house has been painted and almost back 2 normal. The English House's yard and has been leveled by r shovels. Right now i am cutting fleece for the English Camp and we have much to go. I have been able to help with the English lessons for the children at the English house, plays and stories and games. It has been great here everyone is so nice, but I might be coming home a pound or two heavier because of the delicious food. I miss Alex, Daddy, and Allison sooo much, but it already feels like family here. BYE BYE!:)~ AMY
