It was a long hard day of work for our team today, but very, very productive. We can see the house coming together really well now, most of the inside walls are stuccoed, floors in a few rooms concreted in and the bathroom is under way.
We talked today about the word neighbor and took note throughout the day of how that word played into our work and our observations of the community. We are called as Christians to love our neighbors as ourselves and that means not only our immediate neighbors, friends, family, the people who live next to us, church members, etc., but to peoples all over the world. It's not hard here in Costa Rica to be neighborly, they are some of the friendliest, loving people I have ever interacted with. We focused on reaching out to be as neighbors when it might not be expected or seem necessary so that they can see that we truly care, we truly want to help and we truly want to reach out and love them.
John 13:35 "By this will all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another".
Here are some pictures. Hard work and good times.
