It was a very busy day on both our projects. Shana and Kaitlin said there were about 60 kids at VBS tonight. I don't know if others are posting photos of VBS tonight. I worked late on the construction project again tonight, so I did not make it to the VBS program. But if you could see the room that VBS is being held in, you would understand why several in our team described this evening as chaos! But, I think it was a good kind of chaos!

The building project is moving along very nicely. We hoped to get one more course of block up today, but with having to erect scaffolding, and having to lift heavy block and concrete ever higher, we didn't quite make our goal. But everyone worked hard, and we are very happy with what got accomplished at the work site. I just have a couple of photos of when we left the job today!
We are up seven blocks high - it may not look like much but we are pretty happy with the progress so far! |
I should mention that our hotel and the David Memorial Adventist Hospital have kept us fed with really good food. There is usually rice or beans . . or both. But there is always something new each day! And we have been introduced to several new fruit juices some with spices added. Pretty tasty!!
Candy is still smiling after a long day of back breaking work. Yes, we finally have the walls taller than a person! |
One special feature is occurring at our hotel tonight. They are having a community party, with live rock band from 8-11, and then canned music until 2 a.m! This hotel is located in sort of a residential neighborhood, but apparently this is a feature, not a nuisance! Fortunately, we are not working tomorrow, so maybe we can sleep in for an extra hour. Seriously, in my room with the room closed, it
is like being in right in front of the band!! We are creating memories!!
