Day 2 First Day of Building

We had another awesome day today.  They had us split into small groups that were doing different projects and I feel like we really got alot accomplished.  Cheakita and Aaron were cutting and making door frames, Glenn and I did various concrete jobs like making blocks and pouring beams, Cary Alison, Shay, and Cary all helped put the roof on. 
The way they do the home is they pour the foundation and set the beams before we get here.  Then we finish the house and  we pour the foundation and set the beams for the next team on another house.  It really is efficient and we get to do every part of the house.  We also got to meet the families getting the house.  One is a family with 4-5 kids (i cant remember) and the other is a newly married couple with their first child on the way.  The husband from that family worked with Glen and I and Cary was able to speak to him as he knows spanish.
We are all very tired as the heat is pretty taxing.  We all feel excited and cant wait to get back out there tomorrow.  Keep us all in your prayers and please pray for the country of Haiti in general.  We truly believe that God has great plans for this country, where Christianity was originally established in the Western Hemisphere.  Pray that God will restore this nation to what he orignally intended it to become...
Till tomorrow.....
