Bathroom done, ceilings done, and bedroom framework in place for the church family to finish. We said goodbye to our new friends that helped us with the construction. At lunch, Pastor David thanked us with a prayer and we were presented departing gift bags. Then we rushed back to camp to shower before a farewell […]
Every morning we are greeted by Joey, our friend in charge of the camp where we eat and sleep. He’s pictured in the top left. We said goodbye today to our new friends from Philly. They are an interfaith group that worked on other homes in Puerto Rico. Construction continues on Jeanett's home. We had a God […]
We accomplished a lot! More ceiling work, stripped the bathroom tile, walls are up and ready to be painted, and we did some light electrical work. Our new friend, Chispita, Jeanett’s dog, approves. We took a break for lunch and were served a beautiful meal by the ladies at Samuel Culpepper church. Fue un día […]
Another day of progress on Jeanett's home partnering with our Puerto Rican friends. Jeanett's entry to the front door was unstable, so we created a new concrete step. Most of the day was spent working on the walls and ceiling that needed finishing. Tomorrow we start on el baño! Vamos!!
After breakfast, we headed to the casa de Jeanett to asses the work to be done. Her house was damaged in the hurricane and interior work still needs to be completed! The gentlemen and ladies divided responsibilities. The men stayed at the house and started building interior room walls while the women headed back to […]
The group attended a beautiful service at the Samuel Culpepper Methodist Church in Hatillo. Everyone was so welcoming! Can we say hugs and smiles?! The service was given by Pastor David on Christs’ healing through times of loss. Pastor Eric and his wife couldn’t be there due to unfortunate circumstances. We ask for all of […]
Our final day of serving the wonderful people of Honduras was spent on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa in Ciudad Espana. We helped prepare the Juan Wesley School for the first day of classes. Our team divided into three groups to maximize our benefit. Mike and Nate ran electrical service to a new computer lab. Adam […]
Heaven have mercy! The parking lot pad site is level. A full three days to have the site prepped for concrete is behind us. We will leave the easy stuff to the next mission team. We have moved a lot of dirt and rocks the past three days. Today was the toughest as the sun […]
We had another morning of manual labor clearing ground and digging a retaining wall foundation trench for the Mission House parking lot expansion. We were blessed by cool temperatures (but not 26 degrees) and a slight breeze as we loaded by hand three dump trucks of excavated materials. Our Honduran brothers were by our side […]
It’s Red Monday! Chiefs Kingdom is alive and strong in Honduras! The highlight of the work day was soft dirt. The lowlight was hard dirt. Today we moved dirt and a lot of dirt. We leveled a small hill to expand a parking lot at the Mission House. The Carreta (wheelbarrow) brigade transported the […]
We celebrated the Sabbath with a morning hike to the cross overlooking the City of Danli. We were joined on our excursion by men from the El Obraje Methodist Church. The hike was difficult but fulfilling. After another delicious lunch from Carlos we headed back to Tegucigalpa and the Methodist Mission House. We hosted a […]
