The day was long. We began construction on the building. We helped prepare the footings for the foundations to be poured tomorrow. It was hard work, but it was worth it. Ramon (74 years of age) worked circles around all of the "Gringos" all day long. As we prepared the footings, we would shovel dirt, rocks, and other things out of the holes. Everyone worked extremely hard. Tomorrow we should actually begin pouring cement, let us all hope.
In the morning some of the team went door-to-door distributing the gospel of John, and they discovered a person who was willing to host a Bible study. It was a great success. In the afternoon, the ladies worked with children doing crafts, took pictures of the kids with a digital camera and then printed the pictures which the children loved.
One of the pastors from Scott County (Chris) had the privilege of preaching at the mission church which is the one we are helping to construct their future building. It was a beautiful sight to behold. There were probably 15 people meeting in Raphael Diaz's home. He is 80 years old, blind and he loves the Lord Jesus Christ. They are extremely faithful.
I met Jose an employee at the hotel where the team is staying. He is 35 and has an 8 year old son. He wants me to give him a Bible. It was a joy to share with him. I hope to have an opportunity to share the gospel with him this week. Please pray for Jose and his salvation.
I will update more tomorrow.
May the Lord be glorified.
