Today we were back at the work site looking to make use of the ditches we dug on Thursday. The ditches were for the footings of the church building and they needed to be filled with cement. Before we could fill the ditches with cement, though, we needed to mix cement. In the United States cement mixers are used to mix cement. In Honduras shovels and hands are used to mix cement.
Mixing cement obviously leads to pouring cement. So when it came time to pour the cement we formed lines like firemen and went to work.
A lot of water is needed to mix cement and the dribbler of a faucet at the work site wasn't getting it done. So Jon and Tim had an adventure of their own getting water from the river. They ended up very wet.
Today was also very exciting because we started VBS with the kids in Belfate. There was some singing, dancing puppets, a Bible story and a craft.
Overall it was a very good day. Some team members are struggling with heat a little bit, but for the most part everyone is doing well. As always, we covet your prayers for continued health, strength, encouragement, God's will to be done and anything that God knows we need. Tomorrow we're back at the work site and we'll be moving a lot of bricks like these.
Great job Scott with the updates but maybe it would be good if someone took some pics and videos of you so we can see you and not just hear you. We prayed for you guys last night at church! Excited to hear and see how things are going!
ReplyDeleteJust got caught up on all of the blogs.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed being able to see what you guys are doing out there, and the videos as well!
Keep up the good work, and work hard!
