First Baptist Raleigh Team #2

Posted by PicasaOnce again Mike and I have been truly blessed by another awesome group of people. First Baptist Raleigh came in with eleven team members, one young lady and ten young men. Five of this people were first timers which had me reflect back nine years ago when I first came here with a team. Their excitement and energy was refreshing. Now they were only rookies for about one hour of the first day on the job site and they were well on their way to an awesome week building a home for a lovely lady named Concha, who plays the guitar in her church. Concha came to the job site one day and played for the team while they were working. What a blessing! The team worked diligently beside some local Hondurans building relationships as well as Concha a home. The Hondurans are loving people who are not hard to get close to. As the week progressed the children started coming around. The word traveled quickly throughout the village the Americans were there. When the job gets closer to completion the less people are needed on the house and more time to play frisbee, soccer, bubbles is a favorite or just coloring a picture with those beautiful ninos(chldren). There was an open field near the job which I heard a big game of football or soccer was being played by Americans against the Hondruan children. I heard from a rumor the children gave them a run for their money. Concha's home is 19x25 and there will be 15 people calling this home. They dedicated her home by giving her a lock and key and a banana tree for her front yard. We want to say Praise the Lord for once again providing safety, perserverance, relationships being built and a home for another family in Choluteca, Honduras. To God be the Glory for all which took place this week in His kingdom's work.
