Our first look at the site this morning, and well, Mitch’s expression tells it all..Our Father, Who Art In Heaven….
Hello everyone! Here is our latest update after day 3 on the home build has ended. We had massive, heavy rain with thunder and lighting last night, I went outside late last night, under the cover of the porch on our cabin and I must say, I felt the power of God above us! The heavy rain washed away some of our work on the site, setting us back a bit. Nonetheless, the team battled through the weather and some sickness to make great progress with the build again today. I am going to post some of the work at the building site going on with the team. Then, I’ll post some pictures of the local people and scenery, so you can get a flavor of the location, atmosphere and culture we are so blessed to experience. The experience we have had thus far is one that our father in heaven has so dearly blessed us to take part in. Enjoy!!
Oh, what a mess the rain has brought us, washed all kinds of dirt into the footings trenches
