Thursday was our 3rd work day. The kids are in school so our focus is on the house construction until they arrive back in their homes later in the afternoon. We started by setting up scaffolding inside the house. Because all homes we build are done to the same dimensions, we know the routine and were able to setup and continue laying block. We finished the 11th and 12th full courses by lunch and then finished the gables by 3:00 PM. That completed all of our block work. The next 2 days will be used to lay the concrete floor and install the roof.
Through Ron's initiative, we setup a large circle for lunch to include all North American and Honduran workers sitting together. Maida provide the translation and allowed us to get to know each other better.
We had a wonderful surprise visit from Jose, our former van driver and brother in Christ, whom we have known and worked with for many years. He left the mission camp a couple of years ago to be able to work closer to his family. We shared a lot of stories and hugs and really appreciated the blessing of seeing him again.
