Pouring the roof of the clinic??

It has been quite a week so far and it is not over yet. The hardest day is yet to come... tomorrow. On Tuesday, we pored concrete all morning, it was cool to be able to pour concrete where I had helped tie rebar the week before. Then in the afternoon we had a VBS here at the school. I really enjoyed it. A lot. The majority of the kids knew very little about God or Jesus, and are not raised in Christian homes. So it was cool to teach them about the creator of the earth. On Wednesday, we worked again on the worksite, and had VBS again in the afternoon. There were even more kids that day than the previous. It was awesome... we had probably 60 kids, and again they got to learn about Jesus for the first time in their life, and play lots of games and do crafts, and sing. It was so much fun, and I really hope that they learned something that will stick with them for ever.

Today, working on the worksite was great. When I say worksite, I mean the health clinic that is being built, by the way. The rebar and wood floor supports for the roof is being prepared so that tomorrow we can pour the roof. There are SO many people here. They Mexican guys are out there working as I write thsi at 11 pm, trying to finish getting ready for the big pour tomorrow. They pour is going to probably start in the afternoon and most likely continue until midnight or later tomorrow. I am really excited, and it is cool to be a part of such an awesome project.

I will try to post pictures in my next post. Much love, always, and take care.

    You (and everyone at the work site) are heavy in my prayers today. I know this is a most awesome day and I'm so glad you're there to experience it.

    Peace and Love,
