Our Work Days Begin

Today, began our three days of work at the church Iglesia Ebenezer. We woke up early, packed our lunches and put on our work clothes. We got to the church around 9am and worked until 2pm only stopping for a short lunch break. Our students worked hard the entire time and had great attitudes even though they were very tired. We had two crews working: one crew was in charge of painting and the other crew worked on trusses.  

The paint crew was in charge of painting two bedrooms and the inside and outside of the church. Our team was flexible as we had to work with only 5 gallons of paint instead of 10 (which was what we ordered but only 5 was delivered). Our team made it work by making the paint stretch and working on all areas at the same time. This huge endeavor took us the entire time as we worked hard to finish painting before leaving.  The truss crew was in charge of constructing trusses within the existing roof. It as hot and dirty but we finished all the work we expected to finish today. Tomorrow we are continuing on these projects and we will be hopefully getting more paint to finish the rest of the house. Please pray that we have energy and strength to finish these projects with excellence so we can bless these amazing people.
