Good morning everyone!
I am so sorry I did not post last night! The group had a really long day
and did not get back until late.
Yesterday started like all other with breakfast. We had eggs and beans. After breakfast we had devo. Colby Conner led
us in our thoughts. He discussed the
importance of using the talents God has given us to glorify him.
After devo we divided into three teams (classroom
construction, house construction, and hospital visitation). The classroom team went to Diamante to begin
construction on the classroom.
Basically, it was a double house.
For anyone who remembers us discussing Diamante last year, you will
remember that it is basically a ginormous ROCK!!! It took the team most of the time to dig the
post holes for the post. Once the holes
were dug and post were set, we began building the walls and working on the roof
and floors. The group worked really hard
to finish the classroom in one day but we were unable to finish. They will return this morning to complete the
build.
The house construction team built in La Tigra. The house was a dedication house that Patty
Johnson raised funds for. The build was
not a difficult build. The team worked
together and completed the home for a family.
They were able to sleep in a home last night and stay dry.
The hospital team visited a few different wards they did not
get to the other day. They spoke with
the families and prayed with them.
After the teams were finished, we went to the warehouse to
unload two containers. We worked for
about 2 hours to finish unloading. We
left the warehouse about 8:30 last night, give or take, and made our way to
mission house for dinner. We had a late
dinner and everyone was exhausted, so we went straight to bed after to get a
good night sleep to prepare for this morning.
We have a number of things planned this morning. I will do my best to post tonight. Thank you all so much for praying for the
work. Continue to pray for the work and
for team members. I know that many of us
are sore and tired from the hard work. Please pray we will have strength to
finish the trip strong and to keep our focus on God’s work.
In Him
