Thursday post

Hello,

Sorry, no pictures right now.

It has been a long day and I am not sure where to start.

Right now it is about 9:30 and we just finished our evening meeting and discussion.

For me, the day started early. I was up and walking to the church by 0620. I had baking to do. I had promised to teach Norma and Antonia two recipes. Tuesday they learned how to make baking powder biscuits. Today they learned how I make cinnamon rolls.

So, this morning's breakfast included cinnamon rolls, biscuits and a couple of Tiger tails for Luis' daughter. Everybody seemed to enjoy them.

After breakfast we split up and worked on different areas. Lou and I worked on the project I asked you to guess about. The floor is in, the desk area is in, yet needs stain and sealant. Lou and I ended up spending darn near as much time designing and making the step up into it as we did on the floor!

Moving right along, you'll notice I have not said what that project is. Please add comments with your guess. I'll post the answer later.

Lou and I had fun. It is always interesting to work with another craftsman. I learned a couple of things.

The other guys . ..well they got exercise. Lots of exercise. The local Honduran team was working in the room we helped demolish yesterday.  It is becoming a large kitchen. It now has a lot more power outlets, they are set into the wall ( not just running in conduit ) and the walls are being stuccoed. 

That kind of work needs sand. Lots of sand, that has been sifted. Mark, Craig and Clark used a heavy duty screen to filter sand into wheelbarrows, one shovel full at a time. They were out in the street enjoying the sun, breeze(s) and people watching.  

For all that the sandmen had  great workouts, they also got to see more people. They have stories. Feel free to ask them about the street vendors, semi-truck hood and the aromatic trash truck.

Lunch was good.

We put down tools and headed for the hotel to clean up about 3:30.

We were back at the pastor's home for dinner about 5:30. Dinner was a very nice chicken soup.

Then it was time for Thursday night church. Craig did the sermon. Pastor Luis included us all in different ways.

It is late so I will close with the reminder to myself: Don't forget to write about the home visits and the lady whose house we electrified. She was very thankful and has a story we should tell.

Well, that covers the high points. I will fill in more details in a few days.

Health wise we are still doing fine. The blister count is holding steady.

Thanks for reading and please keep up the prayers as we get ready to travel home.

Good night and God Bless.
