Day One-Travel & Beginning


Flying in over the coastline-beautiful, sunny day.

A bit of lunch and straight to work, 
surveying the lumber and materials.

As per usual, we are always sure to safely secure the lumber for the drive out to the worksites… 
Watch those speed bumps! 

Painting crew getting right to work priming the siding for all of our building projects. 

With so many hands this year, we’re making quick work of this. Not to mention, plenty of sturdy(ish) sawhorses. 
No crouching on the ground this time! 

Shade+Hydration=Success

Our building crew converged on a single site to kick things off.. With last week’s mission group getting our concrete footings set, they were able to get eveything ready to lay the flooring tomorrow!

Take note of the pink building on the left. 
This is the community center building we put up 
on last year’s trip. 
It’s often used as a space for Holy Mass, community get-togethers and free medical clinics. 
One of our goals for this year is to add a bathroom to it, a larger deck and a second building for someone to sleep at for these events. As seen in these last two pictures, great progress was made and we haven’t even had a full day of work!

As we settle into our hotel rooms and shower away a day of travel and work, we want to express our deep gratitude to all who have supported us these last few months. 

For those who signed up on our calendars to “Pay & Pray.”
For those who unflinchingly donated
to cover material costs. 
For those who handed us cash for our own travel expenses.
For those who are praying for us now…

~THANK YOU~

Without all of your support, this mission wouldn’t happen.
By God’s grace, we know that you have all come along on this journey with us, in some form or another. 
We can feel your love and prayers. 
Please keep it all coming!

Day Three—Promise of Something New

Image
Our third day was also our first full day of work.  This one was a challenge… Many of our crew were hit with a stomach bug this morning.  So many rallied and powered through, though, and it was inspiring to witness their strength and determination. Thankfully, most were feeling pretty well recovered  by quitting time.  All that being said, we got so much accomplished! By the grace of God  (and certainly not possible without Him), We have completed base floors for all three structures, five standing walls and all of our painting is done  (outside of a single door).  FULL rainbow beaming over our work sites this morning.  A beautiful reminder of God’s promise  to never desert His people.  Even with our trials this morning, we recognize that it is by trusting in Him that we have been able to do any of this. An inside shot of the clinic that was built on last year’s trip. It is truly heartwarming for those of us who worked on it to come back...
