Construction

Well the church that we´re at is great! The pastor and his family are so kind, always smiling, and very exited that we are there to help. Upon our arrival, we discovered that our main objective this week is to work on, and hopefully complete, the construction of the new church building.

When we arrived, most of the constuction had been done. The walls (including sheetrock) were in place, the floor was tiled, and the framework for the stage and baptismal tank were set. Our goal is to sand the the walls, apply a finish coat, sand again, and paint. We also are repairing any gaps or rough spots in the walls with putty, setting a massive sound-proof door into place, and finshing the stage with flooring and carpet. The hope of the pastor is that we will have constrution complete by Friday and have church in the new building on Sunday. That will be a lot of work but if we work diligently it could happen.

Although, we have had some construction complications because Spanish handy-man construction is different from the American way of doing things. Although, Jonatan and Ruben, the pastor´s sons, do construction for a living and the pastor himself is retired from tile work. So our projects will last in the long run : )
