Never give up

Sorry we didn't post yesterday. I'll give you a double portion tonight. We've built 4 houses in the last two days. Kevin Price did an amazing job leading our crew. He's a squirrel leaping up side walls of houses with chainsaw in hand. Two of our homes were side by side and built for sisters. They were truly overwhelmed at the end of the day. In between building we all piled into our bus and rode up to the dump to hand out bowls of rice and beans. Instantly a crowd of people swarmed us eager for water and a meal.
Even in the heat they were clothed in long sleeves and pants as well as facial coverings to guard against the stink. After drinking their fill they splashed others around them laughing. Seeing them enjoying themselves was very uplifting. Soon we were in a circle kicking a partially deflated basketball. Caroline  Lee became the children's favorite target. She made faces that cracked everyone up every time the ball came near.
Before leaving we passed out care packages from the back of the bus. Not having enough packages for everyone was truly heart breaking. Many of the women hugged Marc Tindall and it became obvious the way they spoke to him that he's done a great job ministering to the people their.
After our build we traveled to the mi Esperanza warehouse and loaded up boxes. We had so many that Kevin had to sit on the bike that we loaded on as well.
The past two days have been exhausting but amazing!
