Door Creek Church - Day 3

***Special guest blogger Ella and photographer Kristin from the Door Creek Church Service Team***

As we trudged down for breakfast to begin our first day of work we were welcomed by team member Linda who finally made it to Peru! She told us her adventures over breakfast and then we gathered our gloves, put on our grungy clothes, and headed out to meet Tyler who was going to lead our work projects at the home. As we arrived were greeted by Eduardo who works for the children’s home and would be assisting us in our work for the week. We began by shoveling dirt to even out a foundation for the tool shed. While we were doing that Alec, Caleb, and Joel worked with cutting the Re-bar poles. When they finished, we did a lot of measuring and laying of the poles in 30 cm grids. Tying the poles together involved a lot of tedious work with wires as well, and by the end of the day we were all very exhausted and dirty, however, we felt very good about what we had accomplished.

Devotions were led by Alec on Romans 12 and we ended the night with a game of Salad Bowl and scary stories. We’re very excited for what God holds in store for us tomorrow.

Good deal gettin' a little dirty and working hard. That is great that Linda has made it safely. Praise the Lord. Looks like you made a nice grid for the cement pad.
