Return to the City Dump

I have not been to the city dump here in Tegucigalpa for weeks. With working at school and the normal feedings taking place on Wednesdays and now on Fridays also I am rarely able to go feed. However this week being Semana Santa gave me the opportunity to help on a very special feeding day. We started the day early as we were building a house in one of the nearby communities. Our group was amazing this week and was able to have three walls up and the roof started by 11 when we headed to the dump. This day Mark Tindall was spending the entire day working with the the people of the dump, digging through trash and sorting what would be valuable enough to sell back. David, the teenagers, and I went looking for him when we arrived and found him on a large pile of cardboard trying to tie it all up in a tarp. David and I ended up jumping in to help some of the people carry their findings.

As I was helping carry some cardboard I looked back to see Jose Antonio, one of our BC teens, also lending a hand to help. It was really amazing to see him jump in and help. After our first dump stop we headed up to the top of the dump to give out the rest of our food. When we arrived one of our teenagers, Arnol, asked me if he would be able to go around the outskirts of the dump to hand out water to those too busy to come get food. Of course we said yes. So Arnol and I walked around the perimeter of the dump handing out water. Seeing these two teenagers begin a journey of helping is truly amazing. I pray that God continues to work in them and mold their servant hearts to provide more and more assistance to the less fortunate members of their society.
