Day 2
Alarm went off at 5:00 am after a restful night of sleep. Breakfast consisted of hard boiled eggs, white bread with syrup jelly and instant coffee a perfect start to the day. We arrived at the job site a little after 7:00am and started right in with the second building. The morning was cool as we had cloud cover for a few hours. Once the clouds leave the heat and humidity get unbearable. We worked until 5:00pm and finished the second building and got all the steel up for the third. Everyone is exhausted from a tough hot day.
We believe that the buildings we are constructing will be an attraction for the locals as they are the best structures for many miles around and that the Gospel will be heard and many lives will be saved. We do get our share of on lookers during the day and we especially love the little kids who are so cute and love to laugh. We are thinking constantly of our families and friends back home and are praying that they are safe and that they know that without their love and support none of us would be here.
Hi Scott and Greg -- WOW! Talk about hittin' the ground running!! It is so cool for you guys to do this blog - I've never done this before, so I hope it posts okay from this end. It's great getting the pictures, too!
ReplyDeleteWe're all relieved that your travel was safe, and you sound like you're having fun in spite of the hot, difficult work. For sure keep your mosquito weapons close by - those things are NOT friends!
All is well here. We look forward to your next post!
