Fr. Brian's Construction Group- Day 1 & 2

This week we are busy

with an awesome group from western Minnesota

(and some also from Nebraska, South Dakota,
Iowa & North Carolina)!

On Monday (while the group was traveling)

I was able to do a kitchen with 2 other Guatemalan workers

for an elderly lady (Candelaria) who struggles with diabetes

and who receives little financial support from her family.

On Tuesday, my Guatemalan workers and I were joined

by 4 hard working women with beautiful smiles...

 Despite the rain (and REALLY stubborn wood that didn't want to be nailed!)

we got through the day making great memories 

and getting half the house finished!

Today we had 10 awesome workers that finished the house by noon!

Giving thanks for all who are here serving with their hands

and to all those who are afar serving us with their hearts and prayers...

we feel the love and the support and are so thankful!
