Much
of our church body gathered early on a Saturday morning for a work day at the
church site. The unfinished building has
taken years to construct, and still has years of work left before being
completed, and each church work day allows a little more progress on the
building, and a lot of fun fellowship!
The
men dug out rocks and dirt to start forming one of the outer walls around the
building. They also started preparing a
site for the installation of an electricity pole (with the hopes of one day
having electricity at our church!).
Everyone from the church elders (like the pastor) to the young men, to
the little boys, participated in digging and dumping.
While
the men worked, the women and girls were preparing breakfast: handmade
tortillas (for quesadillas) and “memelas” out of ground corn, with lots of
salsas. I was even molding the corn masa
right along with the Mexican women- having a blast!
Who
knew spring cleaning could be so much fun?
