Team 126 Kenansville Baptist - Home Construction

Our last team of the year, Team 126 from Kenansville Baptist Church came in the airport all excited and ready to go to Choluteca. They loaded up the Kia truck with all their luggage and off we went to build Pastor Hector and his family a home. We had several first timers who enjoyed the mountainous ride and the beauty of the mountains. There was alot of excitement from the passing of vehicles going through the mountains. But by the end of the week they were well adjusted to the driving styles of the Honudran drivers. We met that night to discuss the week ahead. The next morning they were up early and off to Oricuina to build the home. Pastor G, construction team leader and Jose G, his disciple met us at the house and rode out to the job site. The team had a beautiful ride each day to the town of Oricuina. The beauty of God's creation was all around them on the road and most definitely on the job site. They had a bit of a challenge once they arrived at the job. They had to go down a bank and through a dried up river and back up the bank to get to the job site. They were very blessed that week with about eight Hondurans helping them build the house. That bank seem to get steeper and steeper each day. But Pastor Hector cut out steps on the bank so it would be easier for the team and Honduran workers to get up and down. God is good all the time. They had one really hot day on the job but the rest of the week they were blessed with a breeze blowing and numerous butterflies were there all week long. It was just a beautiful sight. How blessed they were that week to have such a place of beauty to build the home for Pastor Hector. As the week progressed each team member found his place in the process of building the home. There are so many different jobs in building a home in Honduras. Some of the jobs are sifting the sand, mixing mortar, water girls, block layers. block carriers, block cutter, filling in the mortar joints, putting on the roof and pouring the floor. It takes the whole team to get the house build. We were so blessed this week with the Americans and Hondurans working side by side to build this home. There was never once a language barrier between the workers because God was at the center of all they did. God is good all the time. Thank you Kenansville Baptist Church for a job well done.
