Day 1 opened on an interesting note. We arrived at the site only to discover that several things needed to be repaired and followed up on that were left from team 1. It was like parents returning early from a vacation only to find that their 16 year old had trashed the house. :-) :-) This first picture is Eddie fixing the corner of the building that was already falling apart.
We spent the rest of the day hauling cinderblocks, making Honduran mortar (which was a time consuming and very physical process) using that mortar to pour the floor and start bringing the cinderblocks to the site where we start building a house tomorrow. All of these things were good solid work day things towards accomplishing our physical goals. The spiritual part of our journey also had it's foundations started today. Our interaction with the Honduran workers and especially the children reaped it's own rewards in smiles and laughter. It was like being surrounded by some of the happiest people on earth without the Disney cover charge.
Tomorrow, we will finish the roof on the Sunday school and work towards building the house. The first a place of worship, learning and love. The second very much the same thing.

ReplyDeleteGreat job guys. Eddie, how are your art skills. How about drawing a mural on that wall while you're at it.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, from the angle of the sun it looks like the photo of Jeremy and JB was taken in the afternoon. Why do y'all look so clean and rested?
Thanks for the repair work Sasser--looking good!
