Prepping for the First Block


Everyone is a team player on this team.  They started unloading everything off the Kia to carry up a steep rocky terrain to a flat clean shaded area for the week ahead.  The family had cleaned an area under some gorgeous trees which provided shade as needed each day.  The team set up their traditional benches for the week and placed their coolers in place and continue serving in other areas


Mike always recruits his block specialists for the first morning.  Debby and Sarah jumped on board.  Dale and Derek brought the boards and lined them up for Mike so his cutting would go much quicker.  Debby and Sarah along with Meida knocked out the nubs and piled them up for later use.  These willing helpers makes Mike's job so much easier and quicker to get the job done.  Mike tries to cut all the blocks the first part of the first morning and allow them to cut as needed later in the week.  Everyone was available when Mike hollered for help.  God is good all the time and all the time God is good.


Pastor Paul assisted Pastor Carlos on the four corners.  Pastor Paul was singing a beautiful hymn about Jesus being our cornerstone as he worked beside Pastor Carlos.  They got to the last cornerstone and Pastor Carlos hollered at Mike for the "C" Clamp.  A couple of teams ago one of our "C" Clamps got stolen.  So Mike had not replaced it yet.  Pastor Carlos has been using wire to hold the corner together and set the cornerstone.  So when Nelson brought Pastor Carlos the wire, Mike shouted" There is your "C" Clamp Pastor Carlos.  The gentlemen all chuckled and kept right on working.  Our brothers here in Honduras can improvise as needed on any given day and share this is not a problem.  This may be where I started the phrase "It is not eternal"  solo digo.
Pastor Paul enjoyed his special time the first morning serving by a fellow pastor and friend.
