God already knew Joel's team of eight was going to do this in a timely fashion. They were blessed with shade all week except for one corner. It was a steady pace all week of working as a team and no one every grew tired or weary well except maybe Tino. But Tino kept up with Deibin because even with Deibin's handicap of speech and hearing those two made a great team. The second day of the project Electerio showed up to help build his home, which means this week there was not any income coming in for the family, but they were getting a home. This is the first project in Mike and my 11 years where the community did not help their family or friends build their home. Meida graciously asked one day why is not anyone helping us from other homes. Gloribel has two sisters with their families who live very close by. Electerio shared he could not afford to pay them. This broke my heart but then it was truly their loss because we had a wonderful time full of hard work and laughter building this family their home. Could it be jealously only God knows the answer to this question. I just know it gone done and it was one beautiful home upon completion.
"Whatever you do. work heartily, as for and not for men."
Colossians 3:23
