Sunday T-1 and Counting

Went to the Union Church in San Salvador to hear Millard Fuller, the founder of the Fuller Center for Housing, give the homily. He spoke about several things. One was that we muct work harder as we get older because in his words "we need to wear out, not rust out." He also talked mentioned that the the Bible says, amongst other things, that we should invite strangers into our homes. Strangers are people we don´t know , but once we get to know them they are no longer strangers. He encouraged us to get to know each other-volunteers and partner families.

At the reception tonite before dinner we met the 16 partner families we will be building the houses with. We were also told not to be surprised tomorrow when we arrive at the site as the houses are quite advanced, but there is plenty of work to go around. Not that I am superstitious - I´m not) but I was assinged to work on house number 13. The mayor of San Luis Talpa where will be building was also at the reception and thanked us for the work we are doing this week.

Well tomorrow breakfast will be at the hotel starting at 6 am with buses leaving for the work site at 7:30. We arrive there at 8 have a brief devotion and begin work. We will have lunch and dinner at the site and then return to the hotel.

For those of you into ping-pong, there is a table here but I haven´t found anyone to pay with. I miss my biking budding Josh who I would regularly pay ping-pong each time we stayed at a church which had a table on our cross country bike trip. We miss you Josh!

Well that´s it for now. 5 am wil be here before you know it. Later.
