Hey Guys!
Okay, i'm sure these post are getting more lame and cheesy as time goes on, but you can definitley blame it on the tiredness.
Today we rocked it out with some construction bright and early. We left the house at 7:20 and arrived on site at 8:00. We split into two teams. Some of us mixed concrete for a widow's home, in hopes that we can finish it this week. The rest of us went and did demolition on another lady's house in the community. We took down all of the wood framing and began to rebuild it with cinder blocks. It was definitley moving and interesting to see what the roof was made of and the condition her house was in.
After that, some of us went and passed out flyers to kids in the community (similar to London, except they wanted our flyers) about the soccer skills we were hosting tomorrow and the plans for the rest of the week. At one o'clock we had a soccer skills tournament. It included kick-as-far-as-you-can, longest goal, juggling, heading, shooting for the cross bar, and other soccer things I dont really understand. After that we played with the kids, which was so much fun! Now that, I can understand. It started raining around 4, sweet releif! It was so wonderful. The heat is so exhausting at times.
Our youth are learning a lot about how to be servants, what other cultures are like, and our main struggle right now is the language barrier. Let me tell you, high school spanish is nothing like the real thing! As we are talking last night about how language is a direct result of the fall of creating, and how God is changing our hearts, and we can't wait till heaven, when there won't be any language barrier. Please continue to pray for us, we're excited about being here and ready to see how God is changing our hearts. Everyone has been so sweet and kind to each other, and God is unifying us as a team. Please continue to pray for the effect of the heat, and for us to continue to have servants hearts.
Tomorrow we are prepared to get up around 4 am and leave the house around 4:30, to get to Armenia and project the Honduras soccer game at 5:30. After that we're headed to the river for some swimming time.
Thank you for your prayers! Visit tomorrow for more!

Hey Buddy and all the gang,
It is sooooo good to see the pictures, videos and read about your mission there. We have been praying for you guys everyday, praying that those you are sharing your faith with are seeing Jesus love through you.
We're praying that God will draw your hearts toward Him and that you will know His presence there. We're so proud of you. We love you
