Every Boy’s Dream…

006

…Or at least my little boy’s great delight!

Friends of ours, Chacho and Paty, are the owners of 2 oxen named “Conejo” (rabbit) and “Jugete” (Toy).  Unlike living in Tegucigalpa, oxen and their pull-behind carts are common here in Choluteca, hauling loads of dirt, sand and what-not, hither and yon across the city.

Chacho had long ago promised Breylon a ride in his ox cart and yesterday the moment finally arrived!

The Shalom Church is beginning to build a home for one of our church families in need.    Conejo and Jugete are responsible for  pulling at least 10 loads of sand and rock from the river bed up to the new building site.

  Breylon couldn’t be happier to help out!

I know things like this take a phone call and dump truck load in the US.

Here it means hours of manual labor, riding the cool evening breezes on the cart and communal effort!
