the man in the red hat

see that man with the little red hat?

his name is gusto, and sarah & sergio took us to see him last week.

a long time ago, he felt that God called him

to build a cathedral... by himself.

he knew nothing about building/architecture/art,

so he bought some books and got started.

so for the past 49, he has spent every hour of everyday building

this house of worship.

the building is funded completely from donations,

and he does everything from the stained glass to laying bricks.

now that he is in his 80s, he accepts help from just a few people.

we definitely felt like we were in the presence of

a modern day noah,

and were especially touched by his humbleness

and obviously, his conviction.
