Mike asked the entire team to gather around to see how the Hondurans lay the mortar and the block. We had two construction young men on this team, Robert and Dean, but they were willing and able to learn a new way to do construction. For this we are most grateful. We are grateful for their humbleness of trying something new in the construction world. They all caught on very quickly and teamed up with another person and off they went laying mortar and block. They also all got great applying the mortar into the joints to make this home on the fifth day perfect in everyway. There was a lot of love and hard work on each and every block and joint filled this week. Have I shared it was quiet warm here as well. God blessed their sweaty bodies with a wonderful breeze throughout their days in Cedeno. God also blessed them with one corner which was shaded the entire day due to three palm trees. After their first day five courses and the doors were set. This first evening of God moments was filled with surprised and tired bodies. Shelia shared how overwhelmed she was upon arriving seeing all the work ahead of each of them. But she knew God was faithful and she had to trust in Him this house would become a home in five days. Robert shared how humbling it was Christian took a week of vacation from his job as a security guard to build his home. This was a week without pay for those of you reading this right now. This was a huge sacrifice on his part not to bring an income in this week but I am sure he prepared in advance for the needs of his family and most definitely for the needs of the North American as well.
