Many Different Jobs to Build Relationships and a Home










As well as building a home there was preparations for an eye clinic. So the ladies, Beth and Lori busily at work going through the eye glasses and preparing for Monday morning with the eye clinic which as well provided a Salvation Station which Sandy was praying and preparing for. Each team member also had other duties as well. Lois,Lori and Ray had breakfast duty and of course Ray always was making sweet tea for the week. As was shared in the Worship Service blog the people did not have bibles so the team went out and purchased enough bibles for all the families in the village to have one. One of the evenings they spent time praying over the bibles and signing their names and words of encouragement to each family. It was always encouraging to get up in the morning and seeing someone having their quiet time before their day started. There are always new and improved jobs added to the job site. This particular job the water had to be brought in from a nearby well. So little did the team know that all week the water was being brought in by Ms Hilaria and her neighbors. So off goes Arnold, Scott and Pastor Ricardo to help bring in the five gallon jugs of water. Unlike Ms. Hilaria and her friends, the guys did not quiet get the carry the water on the head concept down. But you got to give them credit for trying. Good try guys. Maybe next year. The Honudran men had mixed mortar all week and so Ron and Jerry offered a helping hand with the mixing and hauling of the mortar for the floor of the home. Thank you guys for working so hard and getting out of your comfort zone and being flexible in doing God's work. Even the children of the village were hard at work trying to get Ms. Hilaria's home completed. It took all the North Americans and Hondurans to get the job done. Two different languages but ONE GOD. AMEN and AMEN
