We did not finish building the bathrooms but built some amazing relationship which will last us all a lifetime. The mini team, Honduran staff and the policemen worked very hard as a team this week. Each day two policemen worked on their bathrooms along side the mini team and our Honduran staff. It was beautiful how God orchestrated this project long before we did. These men dressed so nicely above bathe, go to the bathroom, brush their teeth and wash their clothes outside. Rodd made an amazing observation one day, people driving by and being stopped up on the main road can see all that goes on around the pilla. These gentlemen have not any privacy for their bathroom time. Today was a beginning of a huge and exciting time for all forty plus of them. Pastor Pedro who has been going almost one year to share God's Word each Thursday in the small fly infested cafeteria spoke first to each of them standing there and thanked the mini team for coming down to help with the bathroom project. The assistant chief spoke a few words of gratitude. Rodd and Betty Lynn shared as well thanking them for the privilege to work with them this past week. One lady in the kitchen came over for the dedication and we all thanked her for delicious meals each day for lunch and that very special up of coffee in the afternoon. Pastor Carlos closed in prayer. Mike shared how we will continue coming and working to finish the bathrooms for them and everyone hugged and said their good byes. This was a very bittersweet day for all of us.
