  2. I see God working there and I want to be working where God is.  I can use the the skills God blessed me with to build things that will improve people’s lives. I like to see that something I worked on has added value to the community.

  2. I care for the people of this community and feel that this is where I  am supposed to be.
  3. The sister of our friend David makes a kind of donut I have only ever tasted there. Definitely on my favorite list!
  4. While the synthetic court was being installed we couldn’t keep the kids off of it! Seeing them roll around the turf with smiles and laughing as the guys were trying to unfurl the rolls of turf.  Hearing  them say that they have been praying for this moment and thanking God for answering their prayers.

  2. The relationships
  3. Baleadas!!
  4. Typically each morning we are working someone will shout, “Baleadas?!” and that is the queue that it is time for someone to make a run for baleadas. It’s the shared joy and laughter each time it comes up, and the fellowship that we get to have with each other as we partake in the heavenly goodness that are baleadas. It’s a simple reminder to myself that sometime the most enjoyable moments aren’t necessarily the biggest and most elaborate.

  2. There is no greater purpose than to serve God, to work hard with the hands he has given us, work alongside others, and just love on His people.
  3. Baleadas (no huevo)
  4. Installing a tin roof in a tropical downpour while watching the kids play soccer in the same tropical downpour. Life doesn’t stop… we all just keep going.
