The House Got Built

Joshua was assigned block cutting for the week.  As he was instructed by Mr. Mike to get this job done in the correct manner.  As if Joshua didn't already know how to do this task.  But Joshua was very respectful of his "elder" and followed his directions.  Joshua had a deadline each day to have all his blocks cut for the family's home.  He worked hard and his assistant ending up being Meida who brought him more blocks and knocked out the nubs for Joshua so he would not have to do that extra work.  His main focus was cutting the block and this is what he did.  Another young person who brings light to our world which sometimes can be a little gloomy.  Thank you son for a job well done

Oh my there was so many young men mixing the mescal this week and it was also a job well done.  This is an understatement to say this is easy work.  This is hard back breaking labor which not one of these gentlemen once complained about.  Cameron, Jansen, Conor, Mr. Alan, Joshua and different Hondurans daily helped make each block into a home with their mescal mixture.

Larry took the time to teach the ladies how to lay block for the first time.  They ended up filling in the joints for the gentlemen who were laying the blocks.  This team worked so well together as they all did what needed to get done.

Blocks being laid and rows going up the first two days.  What a beautiful site.  The team each day was right on schedule and sometimes Pastor Carlos had to tell them to slow down.  They all worked so hard to help Medardo and family get their home after waiting for twelve long years.  Their dream is no becoming a reality. Their many prayers finally being answered and what beautiful home it is becoming.  Thank you Hopewell Baptist Church for answering such a calling as this.  Hannah shared in her devotional one even how if it wasn't for the water and the shade on the project it might would have been more difficult because of the hotness of Honduras.  But in her devotional she referred to the Living Water the woman found which sustained her life which was Jesus Christ.  One day she shared O'Nil had mescal waiting for them when they arrived.  What a huge gift from God.  As we felt inadequate and as we have possibly this week going out and building a home when some of us have not ever laid a block but when we allow God to use us we can do anything.  God can use our bad to make something beautiful and good like this home for Medardo and his beautiful family.  Do not ever doubt yourselves when you are at the center of God's will.  He will use us all in a mighty way!!!!!
