It's going up!

The weather has not been on our side, but we knew that going in. It is still winter down here, and that normally translates into cold and wet. However, our team has been diligent and taking advantage of the breaks in the weather to advance as much as possible. This week is forecasted to be nicer and if that be the case we will have some nice photos to display later on in the week. But until then, here are some new ones.....

Day ???

I am not sure what day it is, of the construction project. I do know that it is Saturday. This past couple of weeks have been crazy, but have not sent me there yet.

Today the Lord blessed us with the opportunity to visit and encourage a sister who is struggling in her physical body. Her name is Miriam and we would ask you to please pray for her, her husband and daughter. Thank you.

As we were gone the majority of the day, 9 am to 5:30 pm we didn't know how much construction had gotten done throughout the day. It was nice to come home and see what we have been looking forward to seeing; wood going vertical. Forever the optimist, I say "we are one day closer to being done with this project." Please continue to pray along with us for this work to bring glory to God, because that's what it's all about! (Psalm 115:1; 1st Corinthians 10:31; Colossians 3:17)

Day 4

One more day closer to completion! (Optimism intended) Another beautiful day allowed for some good advances in the construction. Hopefully tomorrow will bring the same.

Day 3

If there is anyone out there checking this out, we are now on Day 3 of the construction. The weather was beautiful today and there was lots of productivity. Tomorrow's forecast is for more of the same (weather wise) and we trust that the productivity will be the same if not better.

Progress

In our last newsletter I had announced the purchase of the property and our plans to start construction in the next week. Well, we have begun! And as promised I am publishing some progress pictures. (The first picture shown is from day 2, and the second one from day 1) Due to some technical difficulties the going has been slow but we trust that in the next couple of days we will be able to see more done. For us it is very exciting having lots of supplies on sight, with the hope that one day soon they will be transformed into a new home for our family. Of course this will give us a much more comfortable living situation, but it will also establish us as members of this community which counts for much to the people we seek to minister.

Thanks again to each and every one who prays for us and partners with us in ministry. As always, to God be the glory! (Psalm 115:1)
