This was the scene in our backyard when the first cement truck came to pour the footing for the anchor wall by the pond.\"2011What\u2019s the reason for all this activity? Well, just a slight problem with a crumbling retaining wall that is supposed to hold the septic tank back from sliding out where it doesn\u2019t belong! The red arrow below is pointing to the corner of the tank where the wall has eroded.\u00a0\"2011\u00a0So far, the footer for the anchor wall has been poured. We THANK GOD for the generous couple who felt God\u2019s leading to make this possible, and for the wonderful group of students and staff from the New Tribes Mission training centre who came to help.\u00a0Here are some of them\u2026a great team! We\u2019re so grateful to Ernest Jones (NTMC Staff) for arranging this, and everyone enjoyed the wonderful snacks Tina Jones brought!\u00a0\"2011\u00a0God wasn\u2019t finished providing for the project, however! Bob and Darlene Sheets came all the way from Oregon to encourage us in our ministry and lend a much-needed helping hand for a couple of weeks! We had such a refreshing time with them, and even got in some sight-seeing.\u00a0 Thanks for EVERYTHING, Bob and Darlene!\u00a0\"bob\u00a0Other friends took many hours out of their work day to help, as well \u2013 we think we know some of the world\u2019s hardest workers!\u00a0\"baans\u00a0 \"ted\u00a0Now the anchor wall forms are in place and ready to be filled \u2013 if the weather holds, the cement truck will pull in early this afternoon to finish off this first part of the job. We sure appreciate everyone\u2019s help, and the oversight Eric Esau (NTMC Staff) has provided for this part of the project.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\"2011After the wall is poured, there will be a mandatory 28 day curing period, after which Peter will begin backfilling the anchor wall with rocks for added stability. Then the first 3-foot wall will be established several feet behind the anchor wall, using retaining wall blocks \u2013 oh YEAH! God provided for those, too!! We can\u2019t wait to see the finished product. HURRAY!\u00a0\"retaining\u00a0Ultimately, there will be 2 three-foot walls put in, in order to achieve the level required to support the septic tank. Please pray that the tank will remain stable until the project is finished \u2013 and winter is always just around the corner here in Canada! Thanks for praying.\u00a0\"senegalOne more prayer request \u2013 Peter felt so honored recently to receive an invitation from\u00a0the NTM team working in Senegal, who has asked him to come and be their speaker in April of 2012. We are praying about this possibility right now \u2013 thanks for joining us.\u00a0We thank God for each of you and hope your summer has been fruitful, as well. Okay, it\u2019s fall already\u2014it\u2019s just hard for me to let go of summer!\"plLeah and Peter (I’ll post again later today to let you know how things went!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
