Construction things (more recent than the stuff further down the page)....

Construction of the second story for Deborah's house has been quickly progressing! Lots got done today! Take a look at the pics!

Only about a quarter of the exterior walls need to be raised, and some interior walls have already been installed. There is still much to do, but tomorrow TIM comes back (he was gone since Sunday and will be back tomorrow (Wednesday))!!! Oh Tim, come back to us...please come and experience the wonderful sewage!!

The women here have been making beautiful jewelry that looks very professional! They have gotten super super into it and they will finish some pieces us tomorrow! Thanks Tammy and Kari (the ringleaders of the beads) for that!

We had two additions to our party of 19 today from the United States (Santa Barbara area). One is checking this place out for a potential year-long mission work thingy. They'll be tagging along with us until Friday morning!

It has been really great to get some of the youth helping out with stuff. Austin learned how to drive a nail (using his very own hammer)!! Go Austin! Corie seems to take a liking to the drill (attaching the OSB to the frame!)

Adam has been finding that he knows much more Spanish than he thought, and is constantly conversing! Elliott got absolutely fried by the sun yesterday, but that didn't stop him from working on the roof all day (he covered up by wearing his newly purchased wool pullover in high heat!)!

Life is just going really well here. The women are truly able to find peace and rest here. It is our hope that we can help Ray and Adalia make even more space for this incredible ministry!! God is working here. Please pray that we are obedient in following his calling! Thank you all!
