Loving the Least of These

This past weekend we picked up the boys in Comayagua because they had called saying Francisco might have broken his arm. So we brought them to our house for two nights and took Francisco to get his arm checked out. He ended up with a cast because he broke both the bones in his arm from falling out of the pila at their house. So Saturday while he was at the doctor the rest of us took the other boys out to San Miguel to help a family add on to their house. Jen is close with this family because this past April while the Belpre team was here they were out in San Miguel and the mom had just had a baby, and the baby died shortly after birth. So Jen and Kay spent the day with this family loving on them and simply being by their side as they mourned. Jen has kept up with the whole family since then, and the last time we visited the dad mentioned wanting to build onto their small house to create more room for their family. So we offered to help. Saturday morning we showed up and leveled the ground, then moved the mound of dirt off their property so that we can start the actual building process. So for about 5 hours we dug, and then moved dirt with shovels and 5 gallon buckets, it was hard work but the boys loved it. It was so neat to be able to pick up a shovel with our boys and serve right along side them.
