House Progress

In November, the guys on our team took our house plans out to the village, hired some guys to build our foundation and lay our adobes and hauled the rock and sand that they would need.

In December, most of the team went out to spend time in the community and get the second house started.  We had through our house would be done by then, but alas, the team lacked some materials and was only able to make a valiant start.

In January, the guys went out again to prepare for a work team in February.  We thought our walls would be almost done.  Several things had happened in the village while we were gone and our house hadn’t progressed much farther.  While the guys were there, things picked up and began to progress quickly.

In February, we were hampered by a several storms that came through the area.  We’re having an unusually wet winter.  It has made it hard traveling as we do in the off-road conditions.

It is exciting to see progress that we do see- but it is frustrating and sometimes discouraging to see it coming so slowly.

Please pray for me, that I might be patient and not anxious. I am a person who likes to plan and have everything ready so things can get done quickly in an orderly fashion.  This has been a hard time for me to plan, prepare and have to sit back and not have expectations.
