It is late on Saturday night and we had a long day. Over to the project in the morning. Lots of volunteers showed up today, but it was slow going because the focus was on getting the wooden base for the viga forms built and raised up onto the supports. And then we hoisted up the re-bars and those were pretty heavy.




And while that was going on Amanda held an impromptu English class, using chalk on the side of the bodega (storage shed). The young boys and girls here really have been warming up to us as the week went on. Having a mission team in their school each day was a new experience for them and it looks like we broke the ice.






At noon we passed the word to pack up everything and stop for the day. I wish I had been quicker with my camera to catch all the volunteers we had. Part of the team had already returned to Mike and Glenda's house to help prepare for a fun afternoon playing with the Rincon youth group. So this photo is of the group that wrapped things up. Lots of tears were shed as we said goodbye. It's amazing how quickly you can form friendships/relationships even with people who don't understand your language, but can understand God's love.

Played lots and lots of soccer with these young folks. Handed out pamphlets called "The History of Jesus", which were made available to us by Betty McKamey of PAUMC church. The pamphlet presents the historical evidence from the gospels. Seemed to get a very good response. These young folk are very open to the gospel especially because of the love that Mike and Glenda have poured into them over the last six years.
