Prepping for the first block


 
I stood back and watched how many folks it took to get the preparation of the first block to be laid out on the foundation.  There was folks placing the four cornerstones.  Folks sifting and mixing the sand with the cement.  Hunter got chosen to cut the blocks for the channels during the week.  Each team member found a place to serve and tried several different jobs before finding their place for the week.  Nicole, Kristen, Hailey and Danielle all sifted the sand and helped Hunter with the block cutting.  Mark, John and Chris helped Pastor Carlos and Ezekiel with the cornerstones.  Andres was working everywhere to get all done which needed to get done for the first block of his home.  Andres had cousins and church members there to work along side him to the completion of this home.  Jose helped supervise the ladies on the sand sifting.  While all this was taking place Suyapa was in her corner of the world, her kitchen area, cooking balendas for breakfast.  Yum,yum.....  I knew this was going to be a special week.  My favorite Honduran breakfast on the very first morning.  God is good all the time and all the time God is good.  All the hard work paid off that morning as we prepared for the ceremony of the first block.
 
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
Matthew 25:23
