God answered our prayers. We weren’t sure what to expect as far as adobes were concerned, because we’d been gone for so long. We weren’t sure if the people would be motivated to make what we asked when we weren’t coming back for so long.
We had left some money with the village leaders to pay for the adobes we had asked them to make. So, on their own initiative, they divided up the number and allotted 87 adobes to each household to spread the job/income evenly. When we got there, the traditional governor came to show his records of who made how many adobes and how much they got paid. It was all accounted for down to the last peso! And, so now, we have 2,600 adobes – enough to build the outside walls of 1 house plus some. We told them how many more we lack, so they are busy making the rest now.
For our house, Katie and I need 2,077 large adobes for the outside walls and 957 medium size ones for our inside walls.
On our next trip into the village, we’ll take cement so they can begin to build our foundation and then lay the adobes to form our house! Our houses are becoming a reality!
Our adobes!
