Mike and I got back after purchasing the coffin to the team finishing up their dinner. Mike approached the team asking who would like to leave with him Thursday morning at five o'clock to go dig a grave for Andres. Everyone raised their hands but the way they decided who was going was the gentlemen who are not professional block layers would go dig the hole. At this time we were not sure if the team would be laying block at Noel's home or not. This is a small community and everyone is family to Andres. Pastor Carlos said the next morning there would be no work today. So the five men who were going to lay block went on out there to be encouragement to the community. That evening Tyke shared how they had a bible study amongst themselves and prayed for the family and community. This was not in their plans for the week but this was definitely apart of God's plan. Once the three got through digging the hole they returned back to the community and they left to come back to the campus. Pastor Carlos shared with Mike later the funeral procession lasted two hours to get to the graveside. Pastor Carlos had the casket in the back of the Kia and all the family walked behind it to where the cemetery was located.
