It Rained very hard last night along with thunder and lighting. What a light show and as I type tonight it is raining again, it has been very dry here.
The rain appears to have caused some issues with the internet, so I will post this when I can.
Today was very busy and HOT as we worked on the playground, painting, pouring concrete, assisting with the fence and helping with the children, while still taking time to arrange for material and parts to keep the projects on the go.
Once again I'm reminded of the difficulties of securing material. We went to the gravel pit to arrange for a load (5 cubic M) of sand and when we get there we first have to negotiate a price again. Then we have to find a truck to haul it, then when the truck gets there the loader is broke down, so the truck leaves and goes to a different job........... It takes 7.5 hrs to get a load of sand and the workers are ready to go home. Tomorrow we will mix concrete.
The important thing is the relationships that we are building as we interact with the translators. Marc Eddie is one of these translators and has a beautiful heart and a passion for God that is contagious. It is a joy to be with him. The other relationships that we continue to expand are within our team and the Nowochin's as we work on these projects together.
Through all of the challenges we see Gods presents everywhere and are extremely blessed to be apart of HIS story!!
