Thank God for delivery people!
On Saturday, much of the day is spent waiting. This Saturday of KidsHeart was no different. After breakfast, we got a call from ACP -- A Clean Portico -- telling us that the portable toilets were ready to be delivered (I know it's not a pleasant topic, but our crews will be thankful for them by the end of the week!). So Rick and I drove to Progreso to meet the delivery driver and get the toilets delivered.
The next delivery was more construction materials. One of the four sites we are working on had already had walls and roof trusses delivered to the location. This delivery, however, was siding and sheetrock, a LOT of nails, and 7 brand new doors for one site where we are doing some remodeling and repair.
Then it was off to Harlingen for the group's first meeting. Ken Hall from Buckner was the guest speaker for the night, and from all accounts, it was a wonderful time of teambuilding and organization.
One bit of interesting news to come out of the evening was the fact that the officials in the City of Progreso want to meet with us to discuss a proposal whereby we would partner with them to build some houses or other community structures in the city. The partnership could very well be a good one. We have plenty of volunteers, but a limited amount of funds. The city, on the other hand, has substantial monetary resources, but lacks the manpower to complete some of the projects they would like to complete. A meeting will happen later this week between CBF, Buckner, and the City of Progreso to discuss the details.
Pray for cooperation, partnership, and for a productive week of work, beginning Monday morning!
Grace and Peace,
Ken and Brandie
