Ben's Honduras Day 6

hey. this is ben. today, drew had a lousy excuse of being sick and had to leave right as we began building the house, how convenient, therefore we were left with 5 people to build the house. today i did more work than i did any other day this week. we started out digging holes for the posts (this is about the time drew decides to come up with the sick excuse). we put the posts in the holes and made sure the house was square and everything. we then basically nailed a bunch of wood to these posts and it eventually became a house. during this process, i helped making the walls, nailed supports into the floors, roofed, and chainsawed. mark, jonathon, and i roofed while garret and lori built the floor. while on the roof, jonathon dropped a 4 by 4 on my finger, so i have a busted finger now. it hurts a little to type at the moment... we finished the house and marlon was very touched. he gave us all a hug. we all went into to the house and prayed before we left. its awesome to see people so touched. afterwards we went back to the connell's house to clean up and check on drewypoo. he is alive, but definitely has a fever. he didn't make up an excuse. after we cleaned up, garret, mark, and i went out to eat at this argentinian restaurant. it was excellent, as was everything i've have eaten in honduras. the waitress slapped a big o thing of meat in the middle of the table for us to munch on. there was also an "all you can eat" salad bar. after we left there, we went to micky d's to get drew a burger. now we are back at the house, sittin in the living room with the laptops on the top of our laps. drew ate his burger and seems to be doing fine right now... keep praying for us the rest of this time in honduras for God to give us strength to do his will.
