Hey Guys!  It has been a crazy first week. We Crossed over Monday morning at 5:00 A.M. to begin work on our first intern training house.   The 1st house was for a single mother, Patricia, and her two daughters Crystal and Marlyne. There are 8 interns and three staff members accompanied us.  The process is very slow because we are receiving very detailed instruction and explanation as we build.  When we return to the church we go back over the day’s events in detail.  We finished our training build on Wednesday morning and headed to house 4000 after lunch.  The 4000 build is an all staff build which is an amazing experience in itself.  House 4000 was a double that was completed at 11:00 A.M. on the second day.  We finished the sheetrock in about two hours.  The neighborhood families and pastors had a steady stream of food coming in; my personal favorite was the tacos del lingua vaca (Cow Tongue).   Next week we will be training on a double Monday through Thursday.   My first solo build is scheduled for the week of June 4th, terrifying!!!! Prayers are needed.
I apologize that there are not many good pictures, they have been keeping us super busy.
Love you guys.
