Day 6 -2014

Day 6 started the same as most: an early breakfast, quick stop at the "On the Run" convenience store, and then off to our appointed work sights for the day. First we set up the medical clinic. Tuesday's clinic was at another school in the Valley of the Angels. This school was only about 10 minutes from the church building. 

As usual, we had several people already waiting for us when we arrived. 

The medical team quickly got set up to see patients while Ms Amy, Ms Sally, Erin, and several of our young people got a VBS started. 

The construction team went back to the church building to begin work on their new baptistery. Men from the church already had the sight prepped. 

I found myself missing my Kubota several times throughout the day. It was a VERY hard day of moving gravel, sand, water, cement, and blocks by hand. The way the Hondurans work is simple amazing. They go 100%, non-stop, with never a word of complaint. And actually, I can't say enough about some of our young people. They worked side by side with the men all day. 

After construction and medical on day 6, head headed back to the Hotel to get ready for our annual group meal at El Patio. But, we were in for a huge surprise - Derrick (Carlos' middle son) had decided to be baptized! Ricky baptized him in the Hotel swimming pool as soon as we got back. 

Then it was off to El Patio for a wonderful meal. A perfect ending to a fantastic day.
