Cary Hill

This is where we spent most of our time, working on the sewer lines, septic tank and drainage field, for the new mission compound. 

Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men,

Ephesians 6:7

 

Lifeline named this mission compound after Dean Cary. He can be seen in this photo. He is the man on the left in the green shirt and blue cap. When Lifeline came to Honduras Dean headed up the effort. Dean had a Christian radio program in which he broadcasted world wide live from his bedroom in the old mission house in San Pedro Sula. Dean has spent his life serving as a missionary in Mexico and Honduras.

You've herd the saying "Working in the trenches"

Well we really did!

These trenches were about 200' long and 2 1/2' wide. 

Jonathan, Angela, Sara and Jennifer filling the drainage field with gravel 12" deep.

Jason hauling gravel with a wheel barrel, they had to travel 2 to 3 hundred feet for each load.

The hole for the septic tank was about 10' deep.

We consumed approximately 25 gallons of water and 6 to 8 bags of ice every day, before 5pm.
