On day two we were preparing to pray for our day out in the breezeway when we received a phone call from Pastor G which he shared he had been in a motorcyle wreck. So after the phone conversation we all gathered and prayed for the day and for Pastor G's safety. We were on the way to the scene of the wreck when we got a phone call he had driven he and his son to the job site. Mike and I arrived at the job site with him trying to work. Well, that did not last long because I had him sit down and he had messed up his shoulder, several severe scratches but the worst of all was a hole in his ankle. So the team, for the first time since Pastor G came to work for us was on their own. So while we took Pastor G to the hospital we left Arnold in charge of the construction. God is good all the time. Thank you Arnold for stepping up to the plate and keeping the construction moving along. By the time we got back from the hospital there was one of Pastor G's friends from a sister church helping out and remained the rest of the week. Pastor G's son was not as badly injured so he also continued helping as Pastor G watched on the side lines. This is definitely not something he does very well. We finally got him three stitches in his ankle after a second trip to the hospital. The team continued working throughout the rest of the day and got up to the ninth course on the second day. Pastor G was very proud of this group of young people. As well as building the home they also built memorable relationships with these beautiful children. The children of the area and home pitched in and help mix mortar and carry mortar and sift sand. This was definitely a huge team effort to keep working and doing their best to get the job done.
