On the third day, God created......just kidding. Today was fun and exciting. The foundation has been completed and today we began putting down the floor at the house. Seeing the progress is very thrilling. I am so proud of our group. They have worked very hard and have complained very little. Each of them has shown a dedication and commitment to the Lord that should be admired. They serve the Lord with gladness, knowing that the public acknowledgment and reward is minimal.
At the construction site, today required alot of hammering and patience (of which sometimes I severely lack). Counting exactly how many nails we put into the structure is virtually impossible. But the task was completed because we all worked together and helped each other out.
The backyard Bible clubs continue to go well. My responsibilities have expanded to picking up kids and then dropping them off. Stable Baptist is building a new sanctuary which is being worked on this week during the same time we are there. It has been interesting to see the progress made on the new building. It is being constructed out of steel and the workers have to use cranes in order to place the steel beams correctly.
We have four different classes going from 9-11 (10-12 for you back home), split up into age groups. We are consistently have around the same number each day, but the ones who attend change each day.
It has been a blessing to see our workers bond with the kids who have been attending. In just 3 days the kids have started to trust and rely on our workers. We have enjoyed being able to tell Bible stories to the little ones, who have very little Bible knowledge. For example, few of them had ever heard of Zachaeus.
Continue to pray for us as we are very tired. But we will continue to press on.
