We began our work in the church building today. We started by building a frame for the base of the platform. Tomorrow we will fill it all in and begin to build its floor. It is very hot and muggy, at least for us Americanos. We lasted until about 2PM, and then quit for the day. Later we discovered that some of the Bellizians were there working 'till about 6 PM. Maybe our goal should be 3 PM today ;)
The church is only about 3 blocks for the hotel, so it is very convenient, especially since the restrooms at the church aren't quite operational yet. We will be working on those as well this week.
It was great to see that bit of work accomplished, and see some fruit for our labors that quickly. We are also building relationships and friendships with the people we are working with. One brother came to join his family in the building projects from El Salvador, a 24 hour bus ride!
We were joined by other folks from the church as well, including a 3 year old little girl who was a great floor sweeper !
We have no health or safety issues so far, although we have to be careful with the heat. Please pray for safety to continue, as well as the continuation of the relationship building, especially with Joseph, the Yankee fan! All things are possible with God!!
