Today was a hard but good day. I had a full day of construction. We covered everything from picking up the tools and wood to squaring and nailing in the siding. The wood here in Honduras is not always so great. At one point when we were putting the siding on, Camas(a member of team Helene) was nailing while I hung(by hung, I mean hung, my feet were off the ground) from the siding to pull it down into place. Parts of the wood are also harder than others. At times nails would simply bend and I would have to pull them out and than use a new one. It was great to be able to look and see all the work we had done over the day.
Team sunset is doing great. Everyone seams to be having a great time and is interacting very well with the islanders.
One of the boys from the crash who had been in a medically induced coma has been woken up and was responsive-with a yawn and stretch, no talking yet, but just surviving is truly a miracle. Praise God. Please keep your prayers up. Helene really needs in this time of great tragedy. We are all really working to encourage the islands that God can and will work through this event for the greater good.
I had a very cool moment tonight. Team Sunset was having a group meeting and Marvin was waiting for Ewings to be done with a study. So i started talking with Marvin and we were overlooking the group meeting. We had a great talk about life in general. The group wrapped up their meeting with a moment of prayer. I felt led to pray with Marvin. I asked Marvin if he would like to pray and he said yes. So we prayed. I felt like we really connected during our 30ish minute talk.
