After praying up the week ahead led by Pastor Larry everyone dispersed to find out what needed to be done in order for this house to become a home. Meida stopped shortly to ask and answer any questions from Sister Magdalena. The teams was unloading the Kia and carrying 600 blocks down, yes down into the foundation. This beautiful property was nestled in the bottom of an embankment surrounded by beautiful shade trees which kept the team cool all morning and into the afternoon. This was a time of hard work and little chatter amongst the North Americans and Hondurans. Everyone was busy trying to get to the point of laying the first block. But the beauty of this first hour everyone jumped in and worked hard to get to where they could start laying the first block. Pastor Larry had shared to the family and the team most importantly we all want to provide a home but building lasting relationships with the family and those who showed up to help is so much more important. But as the day and week progresses everyone becomes acquainted with each other and break bread together everyday at lunch.
The newer team members learn quickly the joy and generosity which surrounds this neighborhood they are working in this week.
