Day 6

Hola!

On our 40ish minute drive to the work site each day we pass by several families that always stop what they are doing and shout and wave at us.  Today we took the opportunity to stop and say hello and Duane handed out a few Bibles to them as well.  Their smiles were priceless and we look forward to seeing them each day.

Hard at work making the form for a bond beam.  We had a lot of sun today and it made for some hot sweaty work, however we are certainly not complaining as we hear it is a bit chilly back home ;)

We were again treated to lunch with the local community here which is called Citio Nuevo.  Today we had rice and guandules (a type of bean), spaghetti noodles, and tostones (the fried plantains we had yesterday too).  What a privilege to have this time and share a meal with them.

After lunch Shelly, Melissa and I spent time with the kids again.  We are slowly learning more names and personalities as well!  We can see that kids are kids everywhere and they tease each other (and us) just like our own kids at home.  They are all so very precious and their smiles make our day so bright. 

 This is where we ended at today.  The church is starting to look more like a building and a lot of the progress is somewhat hidden.  The bond beams are all done, front and side steps have been poured and the rafters have all been put together ready to be put up tomorrow. 

But now it is late here and time for bed.  Thanks again for all the prayers and support.  We can see all the “hits” on the blog and are encouraged that so many are interested in what is happening here!  Blessings to all of you, please continue to pray for Citio Nuevo and that their church will be a place of blessing to them and above all give glory to God.
