On June 15, New Hope Baptist Church Youth Group arrived in Tegus for the first time. It always does our hearts good to have young people come here and especially for the first time. They came ready to learn all they could about the people and their country. This is our fourth youth group this year and we have been beyond please with the excitement and energy these young people bring with them to Honudras. The group met that night with their Youth Pastor and discussed the week ahead and what to expect on the first day. The Youth Pastor, Brian came last year and was able to enlighten them on the culture and their week ahead. Each night a different youth shared a devotional with the group. Each morning they got up with their different job duties. It takes alot of people to make this opportunity to build a home function. There were two young people who mixed up the gatorade, several people in charge of breakfast, lunch and dinner. There were several young people loading the equipment on a daily basis. Being a new group we had a class of laying blocks 101. Our translator, Egla is much more than a translator, she is also a block mason. So with the help of Egla and Orfilio the team learned how to build the house. They got to work and found where they were suppose to be and off they went with getting the first five courses up on the house. It was such a pleasure to stand back and watch these young people hard a work along with their brothers and sisters of Honduras. The Garcia family stood from the doorway of the old house watching as each and every block and mortrar went on their new home.
