Today is Tuesday and Torch Team #2 is arriving today. A small group went with Terry to the airport
to pick them up.
The rest of us were building two houses. One would be mine and it would be built in
honor of my friend’s husband, Scott Sander.
I “bribed” Tricky Pat Gutherie to be my “jefe” (boss) and he
agreed. We hoped for a site without a
long treacherous walk. There was a short
steep walk to the site, which had both lots right beside each other. You know what that means; we would be
competing to see who would finish first!!!

The other group’s leader had been studying and thinking how
we build down here and he wanted to try something new. I don’t want to brag, but that had twice has
many big many and many more people helping.
My group had two American adult men, two Honduran men, a couple ladies
in their late twenties and then about 8 teenagers. Even though it seemed we were a bit short
handed at times, everyone had a great attitude.
Needless to say, we were done almost two hours before them, but who’s
counting.
We always finish with a dedication. I explained who Scott was, I presented the
plaque and our whole group got in a circle with the lady. Pat lead a prayer and an intern translated
for us. It was such a humbling
experience and such an honor!! Several
tears were shed by all. Happy Tears!!
Hasta luego!!!

Home sweet home.
