Construction Ministry - Dan

Great day today at the worksite. Still heavy lifting of rock,sand,cement,and crushed stone were the Order of the day in constructing a bathroom for a PID house. The interesting thing about our Construction Ministry is the interaction with the client family children. Seems like the size of the a family grows by the day with twin sisters, Magadeline and Jasmine, Gustabo, Juan Carlos, Eduardo,Davi and many others whose names escape me at this moment. Our nicknames On the site are Danny Boy,Señor Grande Brian, Anthony, Dylan (We mean Evan). Anthony has been like the Pied Piper with all the snacks he has in his backpack that are dispensed at break time. The Construction Ministry has been a great experience with John 3:16 proudly displayed in Spanish on the back of our OSLC Team t Shirts. The children love to read our shirts and laugh as we try to communicate in Spanish. Thanks to Evan and Anthony for helping us communicate. We have had many laughs, it is always great to have some high school students on Mission Trips. It is a blessed life that we live. Bob Wancheck prepares a different bible passage that we carry with us Daily to the worksite and read as a group over the course of the day. The Guatemalan people we have met are engaging and appreciate the help we provide. Like my past experience on a Mission Trip to Haiti, it seems like people with so little in worldly possessions are so rich in so many more important things. Thanks to everyone for the opportunity to be part of the Guatemalan Mission Team.
