Lots of building going on.  Of course, spiritual building is the main focus.  

Last year lots of groups helped us plant trees in Cantarranas.  Look at the starfruit trees already producing this year! ​

There have been construction projects in Talanga...including needing to replace most of the walls outside and in for the parsonage, and change the roof to not dump over the wall into the neighbor's property, which will be hopefully started a good way this week.  Also, the back wall for the church has been failing, and work started this week to make the hole, for the next team to help seal back up properly.  None of that was planned, but it was needed, and we were able to switch things up and with so many groups, help out quickly.  

And...we finally got the pavers for continuing things in Cantarranas, but unfortunately not enough groups, not enough days to get them all installed soon.  We have started, but quite a bit left to do.  (around 50,000 pounds worth) to then see how much left will need done.  

The well continues.  I could have cropped this picture more, but I love how the front tire shows the state of the road up there as well.  Said road which will be another project to tackle later this year with funding coming in to help there as well.  

Also...the farm property you probably didn't know we have in San Juancito, long dormant, we are now prepping to see what God would have us do there, the fence in Cantarranas should be ready for serpentine wire (FINALLY...don't ask how many years this project has taken) and other finishing touches, more will be happening with unexpected gift for stucco in Danli, and getting the Milk Project its own water source there, improvements/maintenance in Sampedrana on the Milk Project and fixing the drying racks for coffee there and building new ones as well, more stucco work in Las Botijas, several small projects in Tegucigalpa...you could say several guys will be busy for the rest of the year it looks like, praise God. I am also probably forgetting a few other projects...since I didn't originally sit down to list these all out, but they have just been bursting forth with help, ideas, funding, groups...it is amazing.  (don't forget of course much later in the year and into 2026, that we will be able to buy more pavers and have help to put them in up near the farm in Sampedrana!)

We also pray the Holy Spirit would be quite busy, in the midst of all this physical work, also doing and guiding the spiritual work that could and should go along all of it, and for the pastors and directors to ever be mindful of that as we go forward.

Thanks for your prayers, thoughts, comments, and everything!
