Hello friends and family!
I thought I should update tonight because tomorrow will be a busy day.
Today began with breakfast and devotions as Meghan wrote in ourlast note. After breakfast we had some small chores to do and then began gathering the tools we needed for a day of painting. They have been adding rooms on to the dormatory. These rooms will be used for the ¨dorm Parents¨ which at the moment the do not have. The pictures I have attached are of the team priming and painting. We had a small competition between the guys and gals to see who could get more done. Well the girls won...but only because the hired a professional to help. Sort of. Carlos, I believe his name is, has been donating time to the orphange and he is in the building trades and happens to be a really good painter. So at the end of the day the girls had more done than the guys.
Tomorrow morning we will be mixing cement ( all done with shovel ) and helping to pour a sidewalk around the new addition to the dorm. We will also finish the painting we started today. Maybe we will let the girls do that !!!
In the afternoon Enrique will take us swimming at a favorite water hole. Then in the evening we will be having our ¨childrens extravaganza¨. It will be a very full day.
I am so proud of our team members. They are all hard workers and are having fun doing it. Meghan has been a blessing in so many ways but her job as translator is immensly helpful to all.
It continues to be hot but we are all careful to keep ¨watered¨. Thanks for your prayers. We are looking forward to the childrens ministry tomorrow night. Pray for attendance and well as receptive hearts.
Love to all!
Pastor Scott... on behalf of the team!
