Mescal Crew

This group of folks worked very hard.  Please do not let the mixer fool you.  They had to haul four buckets of sand, three buckets of rocks and two buckets of water.  They formed the exact assembly line for each batch as they mixture formed into the perfect batch for the floor which was being pour a ways away from this location.  This was a continued process all day long.  These pictures cannot show justice to the hard work this crew put their day.  John Scott was an excellent supervisor of his mescal crew throughout their labor of love for Jesus Christ. Logan was apart of this mescal team as she along with the guys hauled the sacks of mescal from the back of the Toyota to the Honduran dorm porch.  Abby and Allison worked hard sifting the sand to go into the buckets which in turn went up into the mixer.  If I start naming everyone who had a hand in this I will surely leave out someone.  As you can see in the pictures our youth literally took it to the top in so many different levels of commitment.  They did not stop until the porch was near completion for this first day in Honduras.  Well done good and faithful servants.

Logan's scripture was on  1 Peter 4:7 "Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.  Above all love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins.  Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling."  This is what this crew accomplished their first day, they worked together as one unit to get the mescal prepared for the floor.

Brandon's devotion for Thursday shared how we could become bitter because of how our mission trip is forming.  We do not need to get angry about  the small stuff but use it to glorify God. There is so many reasons why we could get angry about our day but we chose to glorify God with what He placed in front of us.

"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.  Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ forgives us." Ephesians 4:31-32.  We could learn so much from our young people.

What petty stuff are you dealing with right now in your life which in the big scheme of things does not even matter,  As we say in Honduras it is not eternal.  So work as a family of believers for the Kingdom work, even it is mixing mescal for a porch you will never probably get to use again.
