Hello Vineyard! Day 2 in Honduras started with breakfast and a word from Josh Grill, our World Compassion Network partner. Josh shared about the Holy Spirit and His influences in our everyday life. Then we hopped onto the bus and headed towards the village, a short ride but filled with great conversations. We arrived and stopped at the Tortilla Restaurant, that our team last year helped completed, we heard the story about how the restaurant begun. We even had a chance to make some tortillas with the sisters, some of them team did so well they were hired on the spot.

We then broke into two teams, a team of painters and a team of mortars for laying concrete blocks. I was part of the painting team; the house we were painting was for one of the sisters. The hope is that we get it ready for a celebration in the next couple days. We started painting the outside and finished it! We then got to move to the interior of the house. The home consists of 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a living room/kitchen area. By the time we left the house looked so good, our team worked so hard it was an all day job, but we tackled it and got it done. This home is a HUGE upgrade compared to where she was living before.  

The team mixing concrete (by hand), also accomplished a lot, walls were getting established and built higher. We also had the privilege of visiting a home in the village. A home with dirt floors, and seven people all sleeping in one room. The women who lives there is pregnant (due any moment now), with a fourth daughter. She was so proud to show us her home and answer our questions. She is proud of her family but has no way to escape the conditions she is living in but is happy with what she has. We prayed for her and her family, we asks that you join us in praying for that family tonight.

We then got back on the bus and headed back to base where we had a team debrief, spent some time in prayer and practiced for our puppet show we are putting on tomorrow in the village!
