Day one construction update

We had an advance team of 9 on the construction site (with pastor tito for about 5 hours). We got one and a half courses done. We had to learn a few new tricks so that made for a slow start. Once we have our full team on sunday, we should be in great shape!
The church as we found it when we arrived. The crew had the first course of block laid out and cut for us!

One of the new tricks - we had to soak each brick before we laid it. The brick soaked up a lot of water.

Gino and me laying the ceremonial first brick.

I got the dirtiest award because I had to run the brick saw. I am covered in red dust. Fairly ridiculous looking.

We have a great team and God blessed us with a wonderful Maranatha crew.

We are headed back to the hotel for a much needed shower and dinner.
