Day 3 - (Building & Relationship) Construction Underway

Today was the day that we made it to the worksite and started working.  It was great seeing all the locals and how excited they were that this project was starting.  The picture taken below was at the end of the workday, but many of those working on the building had already left.  We had quite the crew!

It was also amazing to reconnect with a few people that some of us at met two years ago when we were just a couple miles away building the church at Sieto Nuevo.

We were all hard at work, but also had a lot of fun.  We were trying to learn Spanish/Creole phrases as well as teaching some English phrases to the locals.  Let's just say that we were all laughing multiple times with what each other were trying to say.

Everyone was involved in helping in any way they can.  We often had so many people working around the worksite that we were on top of one another.  It was a great experience getting to know them and interacting with them, even though, many times we had a hard time knowing exactly what each other were saying.
 

At the end of the day, we were all tired, but energized.

Tomorrow, we plan on worshiping at Sieto Nuevo in the church that was built 2 years ago.  We are looking forward to meeting many more familiar faces of brothers and sisters in Christ and reconnecting with friends from a couple years ago.
