Hard work in paradise
Day two started with at the cathedral in San Salvador where
the Bishop said the mass. Today we met
more new friends from Habitat including Juan and Anna Maria. They surprised us with an amazing welcome
lunch in a residence (former coffee plantation) high in the hills that
overlooked a enormous mountainous valley where El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala
meet.
Jonathan Good has joined us and our entire team has fully
bonded already. Days 3 & 4 were
rather focused on the two houses we’re working to finish. Only two days working in the heat and the
team is pretty tired but in great spirits.
One team is digging a septic pit that has to be 15 feet deep and 5 feet
wide. The other team has leveled floors,
dug dirt, painted and will begin laying cement tomorrow.
We fell asleep to the sound of a constant, soaking, rain
last night. The days are like
paradise. Hot , but paradise. As we embark upon day 5, we’re a little bit
more sore and a lot more grateful for this experience with our friends from Habitat!
Blessings,
Eli, Ross & Team El Salvador
