Building Up The Blocks

 

This team put the roof and floor on a church last year.  This year they get to start at the bottom and head upwards.    Mr. Mike had a block 101 lesson for all the new comers as well as some return folks who only know how to put down the floor.  This team got busy and worked diligently and found their spot where they could serve the best.  They were able to get five courses up the first day which was well over 250 blocks.  Let me share with you after lunch about seven of the team members went down to the soccer field to get a game of futbol in with the local children.  This left the adults behind to continue laying blocks at a steady pace. They still were able to get five course up.  Let's do not forget the help of the Hondurans, Samuel, Wuilmer, Teodore and many more who came out to help start the construction of their church building.

Tuesday was a blessed day for all.  Tuesday is the day the community receives water.  They were busily filling up the blue and brown barrels for the day ahead of mixing their mescal.  John Scott took great pride in helping contain the hose pipe as the water poured into the barrels.  The ladies were off cooking lunch which left no one to hold the water hose in place.  Thank you John Scott for taking on any task to get the job done.  Soon the team will find there is more than building a church.  Join me as we continue this journey of building other things much more important.

 

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
