We began our Hillview Church Mission Project for 2012 bright and early this morning!
I made cinnamon rolls late last night and let them raise till 4:30am and began baking them knowing we had to be at the church at 6am. Well at about 5am the rains came pouring down so I went back to bed for a while.
The phone rang at 7am and it was Bill and we decided to try to meet up at the church at 8am. Still sprinkling at this point but prayed and decided to trust that God would hold the rains back so this desperately needed addition could be underway!
Last night Chris was called to come to Belize first thing this morning so he missed out on the work........probably didn't mind that!
My kids, Gen, Jun, and I loaded up and headed for the church. On the way we were flagged down by a member and his daughter wanting a ride in the drizzle. He brought 20 bananas with him and Bill brought scrambled eggs. So we had plenty of food for the helpers. Upon arrival we saw Pam, Kent, and Bill already there working........we were 10 minutes late.
Jumped right into the work and kept watching the sky and praying that the storm would go around us......it did! Ended up having 4 more helpers show up throughout the morning.
I have lots of pictures to post and just wanted to say that we only close to $1000 belize ($500us) for concrete, blocks, mixer, rebar, ect. WE will get the slab poured and cover the slab with metal roofing but we really need to be able to put the walls up but that will take more money.
Another wrench that the adversary threw in this week was that the church's water got shut off. Of course right after we had filled the baptismal pool for the baptism last week. Apparently, the guy thats been freely paying it has another delinquent acct. and so the company linked any accts. in his name and shut them all down until he pays the late one.
Our church acct wasn't behind at all. However, since we had no running water we had to dip buckets into the baptistry to be able to make concrete.
