Sunday morning, a time for corporate worship. Worshiping together with other believers is not something that we should be giving up so easily. Our last time in a church building was in March of 2020 and this morning, January 10, 2021 was the first time back in a church building worshipping with other believers and wouldn’t you know but it was the same church here in San Carlos. We could never have imagined that we would not be able to attend church together for such a long time. At home in Canada we almost felt like we were in a communist country in that corporate church worship was forbidden “for the sake of saving lives.” But isn’t that what churches have done throughout the years - save lives? Not only spiritually but also physically.
With the start of a new week projects begin again. With the unknown delivery of the styrofoam building blocks it was decided that we could go and work on installing tiles on the bathroom floor at B’s house. One of our Mexican friends was asked to join us not only to help with translation but also to help with the work. The drive to the house passes along the ocean and the view is absolutely beautiful. In fact on the Friday we had the privilege of watching a pod of dolphins swim by.
We were able to complete the floor tile installation and grouting this week and primed the top of the cinder blocks in preparation for paint. Next week we plan to paint the top portion and tile the lower portion. Our Mexican friend had a brand new toilet that he was not using so we were able to swap out the toilet that didn’t work and replace it with one that did.
More styrofoam blocks did arrive as well and more layers were added until we ran out and once again we wait. But there are always other projects to work on
The weather here is a bit cool in the morning, warming up to quite nice or a bit warm in the afternoon before cooling down again for the evening. We have gone for a few walks and even did a short bike ride on Saturday down the bumpy gravel roads.
We have become part of the family here and it feels good. We wish more of our friends would be able to come down and join us.
