Church building Day 1






Man is it hot here!!!! Any sympathy out there? We started out with breakfast at 7:00 AM, and head to the work site after a bit of time loading supplies and equipment. We packed 14 of us in the one van and headed down the road for about a 30 min. experience to get there. When we arrived, the nationals had taken the old church down, and had block part of the way up. We ended up putting plywood all the way around the top, to be able to pour cement above the windows, and along the top, up to the roof. We also put 2 X 4's across the top, preparing to lay the plywood and get it ready for the cement ceiling. It was very hot working in the sun--so we pumped the water down us. We stopped for a dinner break, and worked till about 3:30. We were exhausted, but had a great day. The locals were very impressed with all of the work that we got done. Can hardly wait till tomorrow--it will be a great day--lots of work, but am enjoying it. More info. will come again tomorrow.

  1. We can't wait to hear how today went. We check the site about 20 times a day, and pray each time we do! Grandma Draayer, Steph and Dave
