Remember the frame for the platform that we made yesterday? Well, today was spent filling in the base for the platform, first with large rock, then sand with smaller rock, and finally with 5+ batches of hand mixed, hand poured cement. Can you say sore back and ready for bed? I can, but not after we go to the Spanish congregation’s Tuesday Night Prayer Meeting.
Lunch today was beans and rice, and delicious stewed chicken. In addition to the church being only 3 blocks from the hotel, it is 1 block away from a small grocery store, and that means Ice Cream for dessert after lunch! Yum!!
I am constantly impressed with the fellowship and teamwork we continue to experience: both within our American team, and the Belizian brothers and sisters who are giving of their time and energy on this project. Whenever one gets tired, there is always a helping hand to pick up the shovel to move some more dirt.
One neat moment from today was when a neighborhood woman was walking by the church and asked if it was going to reopen. She seemed genuinely pleased to find out that it would be. That is what makes this worthwhile: working with brothers and sisters, allowing them to be available to spread the Good News of Jesus.
Stay tuned…
