On day four and five there was a lot of work to be done but the challenge was totally met by all. The dirt was continuously being moved inside the home to get the floor ready for the concrete. The sand was continually being sifted and mixed to make the mescal for the final stage of blocks. Everyone was pushing with their all. Mike said O'Neal very seldom was not mixing mescal all week. He never stopped this strenuous labor of love for this family. Because he realizes back in March his father got his home and how proud they all were of their new home as this family will be as well. But as the time was coming after Pastor Carlos got the roof up and floor went down there was a light at the end of the tunnel called, homemade Honduran chicken soup. Yes coming across the field from someone else's kitchen was Frances and her mother in law bringing soup for all those hard workers. As we have been serving in Honduras for twelve years now, I would say most families kill a lot their free range chickens and fix this huge black kettle of chicken soup with yuka, corn, carrots, Honduran squash, Honduran bananas and sometimes a little rice. It does not matter how hot it is outside this soup is super hot and so delicious going down. It is like their huge way of saying thank you to each person you made those 800 blocks, 52 bags of cement, two doors and two windows and rebar into the most beautiful home ever.
