On July 21, 2010 Jacksonville arrived with a team of 8 women and 3 men. There was some team members who had never been to Honduras. We always get excited to have new people come and see their excitement and wonder of this beautiful country. There were several who had been coming for years. So we had an awesome combination of people excited to build Cecilo and Victoria their new home. They arrived on the job site the next morning and got started as a team and never stopped working as a team. After the first day they had five courses up and did VBS as well. There was a different twist to this group and the village of El Carrizo. There was at least 20 to 30 men and women there to help them build this home. The women of the village would bring the water to mix the mortrar and the men would mix it as quickly as they could to keep up with Jacksonville. By the fourth day the house was complete. As they were laying the floor a storm was brewing. Once the floor was near completion we suggested to do the dedication because the storm was getting closer. As Rhonda was sharing scripture and her thoughts on the week small drops of rain starting coming down. The key to the house was turned over to the family and Pastor Antonio closed with prayer. Everyone loaded up waved good byes and the bottom fell out. God is good all the time. Thank you Jacksonville for providing another family of Choluteca a home where now they will be dry when it rains.
