Today we started the day off with some great breakfast at the resort. From there we went the church at La Sparanza, where the clinic is located and the church the clinic is out of. Guy gave a brief message on why we are out here...because of the Hope, Love, and Faith Jesus offers all of us. We presented Pastor Donugo and Brian Weed with our official team shirt which they wore proudly. Then as a team we prayed for the church asking for God's continued blessing. It was also the 5 anniversary of the church and so we left with some gifts for all the children.
From there we walked back to the site of the clinic and just kicked some b.... um I mean we worked REALLY hard. We got the remaining footings dug....the soil here is just clay so man it was hard work. After that we got all the columns but in and the bases for them pored. Tomorrow we will be able to dig the foundation. We worked into the night again and it was a strange beauty to see the site lit up by lights from a generator while seeing more stars than we have ever seen in the black night sky.
We showed Brain the chop saw that we brought. He was like a little boy at Christmas just wanting to cut any thing and everything....which looked pretty cool shooting a 20 foot arc of flaming sparks into the night.
After we cleaned up we headed back and ate dinner......which took fooorrrrrreeeeeeeevvvvvvveeeeeerrrrrrr to get. But it was good. I got this amazing pork chop with the house special sauce.....sosoooooooooo good.
We are so far ahead that we are starting to think that we might possibly start some of the work for the next trip. Cahrayzee!
We are praying for all of you! I'm so glad everything made it through customs! We can totally see Brian getting so excited about that tool!! : ) Keep us posted as you can.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear about all the work and blessings. Tell Mark we lost our game last night and I'm down to one lung and a 1/2 leg.
