This was a quick hard working week. We all arrived daily with excitement and energy to build this home. The first day five courses went up and doors went in. The Hondurans stayed on task for the entire project. Pastor Carlos led well and taught the new fellows just how he wanted the mortar mixed for the blocks to go down and to fill the joints. Everyone worked well as a team. Mike and Ginger arrived later on the last day thinking Pastor Carlos would have helped with the roof. But we were sadly mistaken. We both felt awful because we thought more men were arriving to help mix the concrete for the floor. Mike quickly jumped up there and helped Pastor Carlos get the roof to completion. The three volunteers were working so hard on the concrete and Mr. Estrada was passing up the roof to Mike and Pastor Carlos. Cristobal and Yobani were putting down the floor. Everyone was working hard on the last day. The last day Ginger just kept them in cold water and hydrated which is the most important job on the job site. Ginger enjoyed sitting in her plastic chair under the shade tree watching the completion of this home become so real for all of us. God is so good.
"Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up."
Galatians 6:9
