Welp...we finally finished the house in one of the villages close by. We have been in
construction for a little over two weeks. This is the house and family
that
we met last year in Nov. and felt lead to build them a new house
after their house was in danger of falling after the raining season
left. Josh and Jessica Byrd came to serve in Guatemala this past Feb.
and the Lord opened the door through their ministry to pay for the
house. Josh and I worked with three other pastors who are our friends on this project. We also had help
from a few other men that
lived close to the house. Julio is the man who we are building the house
for and he helped also. I got to say, I had no idea how exhausted I
would be from working on the house. And I know Brandi has been working
just as hard at home with the three kids. But praise God
He accomplished
His purpose and will for this family. It has been the hottest this year
the two weeks we take
to build the house. The temperature has always
been right at or over 100 F. Rough stuff, and we came out of it with a
couple of bruises and cuts, just Josh and me. The other guys are just
fine! But we are still walking and breathing Praise the Lord. They would
say that we are accident prone and would laugh all the time. One time
after I fell backing out of the house where all the material was stored
and Julio's mom started laughing I picked up a block and broke it over
her head!! Just joking. But I am thankful that God watched over us while
we provided them with
entertainment. I don't reckon we are use to
walking and building a house on the side of a mountain. It would have
been nice to have a bulldozer to level everything out flat. Haha So I
wanted to thank everyone for their prayers for this project. The house
and all
the other expenses came to be right under $2,000.00! If any one
is interested in sponsoring another family with a house there are
plenty of folks who have no house at all and others like Julio who need
help
due to weather or just simply that the mud and sticks used to build
the house are not holding anymore. I'm not the expert in construction
but I know that God can do anything and we want to be ready when He
leads and directs us, even in doing construction. So pray that the house
doesn't fall and hurt anyone! Haha Just joking! Thank you and Praise
God!!!
