I apologize for the delay in posting, Blogger and my PC have not been getting along well lately. Though I must admit, my PC is by no means new, and therefore has a mind of its own sometimes. I literally prayed my way through the loading process tonight for these pictures!
This is one of my absolute favorites. Five of the girls from Santo Domingo School who spent the day with us at Campo Alegria, looking out over Lake Nicaragua. I miss these girls.
Becky, Pastor Dale, and Jeannie using the 'Little House on the Prairie' type well at the Morenco's home. This well is magnificent, bricked all 35' down into the lake water, as the home is right near the shore. We hauled countless 5 gallon bucketfulls of water from this well to the construction site nearby to soak bricks, mix mortar, etc... What an experience!
Some of the children at Santo Domingo School in San Jorge during class. We visited their school on our way out of town to see about some swings that are in need of a little TLC. They were pretty excited to see us again! As we were them.
Deliani Morenco. The sweetest little girl in Nicaragua! This four year old little angel hauled bricks up a sandy hill one at a time, sifted sand, and kept our spirits up throughout the hours of work we spent on her house. God really used her to speak to me on a personal level during this trip.
Pastor Dale and his fresh pineapple! Adam and Rachel made periodic stops at fruit stands and local 'convenience stores' to provide us with the freshest of produce. They really took great care of our team. There aren't words to thank them enough.
Ahhhh yes, the tie wire! Ha! It took us a few tries, but we finally got the hang of how exactly to tie these together so the triangles wouldn't slip. Jeannie, Pastor Dale, Becky, Paul, (and our Mason in the background) working on a support beam for the house.
Three young boys working in a Bible activity book, matching Scriptures with pictures of Biblical characters. Look at those smiles! What a blessing to get to spend the day with them.
Senor Morenco working on his home with us. He's a quiet man, but I caught a glimpse one day of a HUGE smile when Adam asked him what he thought about his new home. Awesome!
Paul and Adam doing a little Masonry. Oh, the poor hired Mason thought he was getting a team of skilled Bricklayers to come and build with him! What a dissapointment we must have been! But we got the job done, just the same. And the experiences shared greatly outweighed the lack of experience.
