This team of sixteen consisted of nine women. Oh yes nine women and seven men. Do not let these numbers bring concern to how this home was going to be built at all. These nine ladies all pitched in and found work to be done and did it. Immediately Andrea and Sarah starting laying cement blocks out to lay the mescal boards on. They were eager to get to work and praise God for everyone on this team because there was very little help in the beginning from the church or community. Sometimes this is a blessing which I mean the men may have worked. The men have work they can feed their families daily. Actually a couple of men came in the afternoon to help after working their jobs. The team quickly saw what a sense of community truly is by these men working probably since five a.m. and coming to help a neighbor or friend build his home. Everyone was getting the day started in a positive fashion. Everyone was finding what they could do to form this sense of unity and community amongst their team members. This team truly prepared and prayed up this week prior to arriving in Honduras. It was evident from the first day. Thank you Danny and Brad for leading an amazing team into an amazing week.
