Strange Place, Strange Work, Lovely People

Our first morning of construction work is over. We are back at the church for lunch hour. The weather has been HOT and STEAMY. Some of us have a roof over us. Others don't. It depends on how far along the house is. We are not sure which is better because open houses get more breeze but the sun can cook you on the concrete like an oven inside too. Inside workers get little breeze but at least they are protected from the direct sun. God has been gracious and answered our prayers by holding off the rain so far. It started to sprinkle some right as we were breaking for lunch. 70% chance today.

The mosquitoes (small birds) are plenteous on some sites and non-existent on others. Kenzie hammered his thumb pretty good. Pictures will be posted later tonight! Ha Ha.

The teams are learning to work together and gelling well. It's total fish out of water for some of us. Strange place, strange work, lovely people.

We met some of the families whose houses we are rebuilding. The are very thankful. One whole family is out with us working on the building side by side with us.

I took lots of photos which I will post later. Stay tuned.
