From the time Marc and I began coming to Honduras on mission trips, people from Borger, Texas encouraged us. They helped raised money and items to bring. Then one year, one of them came with us. The next year five came. That year they raised over $10,000 for benevolence, over and above the cost of their trips. Marc gave the five of them pink tool belts.
They still come. They still wear their pink tool belts. They still raise a lot of money. They participate in all our projects and are some of our cheerleaders. While they are here, they work hard. They are not afraid to mix concrete, shovel dirt, haul big rocks or whatever needs to be done. Lanetta can lead a house crew and build it perfectly. Maria is driving one of the trucks and using a chainsaw as well.
Yesterday, they hauled rock, moved dirt, mixed some concrete and then came to help me price items for the store so that I could get ready for last night. They never complain. They have to be tired, but no one would ever know it.
Yes, Borger girls rock. And not just the ones that come to Honduras, all of you rock.

Love you and Love those Borger Ladies! Sue
I can lead a house, but Shauna is the wood organizer, and the one who gets everyone busy with the walls and floor. I never look to see if wood is laid out or if a wall is going up. I know she is there getting it done. We love to be God's hands and feet and through Him bless a family with a house.
