As the week progressed so did the magnificent work of this North American team. They all found very quickly where they were the most effective for this house to become a home and they used their gift and talents accordingly. The walls are being built as well as relationships being built as well. Everyone became one unique family this week. Because of Tina's gift of speaking the language she became very close to Meida and Stephanie. Stephanie shared with Tina how she had never met her parents they gave her up when she was born. Tina shared with her how blessed she was to have a loving extended family with Christian's mother and grandmother who have taught her so much. Tina shared with Stephanie as she has observed her this week she is an amazing mommy to Sophia. She sees the love and joy this little girl has from much loving parents, especially in her mother. How beautiful this was to have Tina encourage her new friend in the manner she did. Tina and Meida talked to and from the project in the back of the Landcruiser each day in Spanish of course and Sheri and Kristi listened in bewilderment. Kristi and Sheri were just fine and was grateful for how beautifully Tina reached out to all the locals in such a compassionate manner. We shared in orientation the first night, the house will get built in five days but do not miss the opportunity of getting to know these beautiful people God put in their paths this week. Job well done Grace Baptist Church family. We all came to love you as you lived out each day here in Honduras to its fullest.
