Team 116 Floyd's Creek Baptist Church

On June 16 Floyd's Creek Baptist Church arrived in Tegus ready to serve the Lord. Their smiles were as bright as the sun shining down on them. They ate their deli lunch and off we went to Choluteca. On the first day on the job everyone pitched in and moved the blocks to the center of the foundation. We did something very special with the first block. Juan the father of the house, translator, Oscar, Pastor Antonio, Chad, Roger, Greg, the team leader and Candance, our first timer layed hands on the block and Candance prayed a pray over the first block. Juan laid the first block and everyone clapped and praised the Lord. The team was up and running. We have a new construction leader, Pastor Guerillmo, Pastor "G" for short. He and Team 116 worked hard side by side all week on building this family a home. There are eight children in this family, and the mother Ana died two years ago of diabetes and a stroke. So this was an emotional week for all involved. The eight children and Juan, the father worked very hard beside Floyd's Creek to make their home a reality. The girls hauled in buckets of water on their heads to the job site for mixing the mortar for the blocks. That sight in itself was amazing. They brought the water from a few houses down out of someone elses well. This whole community came together to help their neighbors get a home. Each day courses were laid and the sun seem to get hotter but nothing stop the process from its completion. As the week went by Floyd's Creek build many relationships in this community of El Carrizo. They became to know them by name and the language barrier became less and less a problem for the Hondurans and the Americans. God is good all the time. That saying seemed to be repeated quiet often during the week. The day of the dedication was absolutely beautiful. Floyd' Creek presented the family with the key to their new home and a family bible. The children of the family started crying as they now have a new home they can call their own. An hour after the dedication there came a huge electrical storm and the children were standing inside their home looking out at the rain. This is the first time in their entire life they did not have to worry about getting wet or not going to sleep because of a rainstorm. Thank you Floyd's Creek Baptist for obeying God's calling to come to Honduras and serve the Lord and the people of Honduras.
