God bless each hand who picked up the many blocks which had to go into the foundation of the home before we could start work. Because once we started the walls this task would become difficult. So off they went moving blocks, bringing all the tools up from the bottom of the hill. Someone was gracious enough to let us park all three vehicles on his property each day to make this task and others a little easier. Every project is always so different some easier than others but they are all for the Kingdom of God. The new friends began working side by side seeing what the other could or could not do and picked up on names very quickly and what they could all do to help each other get this home built for Victoria and her son Junior, age twelve.
We prayed over the first block without any pictures. Sorry folks but Junior had to be pulled away from work, milking cows to come over for this moment and he was not to happy with his mother at this time. So I felt compelled to not photo this moment but please envision their hands placed together on the first block and John Scott praying a prayer of a new beginning for Victoria and Junior. He softened up just a little but got much better as the walls of his home were going up. But he was only with us for one day, his day off of work. Victoria shared with Meida how she wanted him to continue school which I am assuming Estefany would help pay for but he would rather work than go to school. I suppose this is a great choice for this family since Junior is the man of the house at the age of twelve.
After the prayer blocks started making a wall and this foundation was becoming a home and this tea of three along with their Honduran helpers were able to stay right on schedule each day. Gorden shared one evening and with these Honduran men we could not have done this without their help. John Scott and Ron both said amen to this.
