Our original group of 10 neighbors spent hours praying and working in regards to this issue, so collectively, we want to thank the Lord for allowing us to be successful. It always was in His hands and we knew that whatever happened, it would be because He allowed it. He truly gave us a miracle that we won’t forget for years to come!
