Well here we are again, another day has gone by and everybody has again been working very hard. The day began by moving a big industrial fridge onto a truck via a small crane and driving it down into the church building we moved yesterday. Thankfully we didn’t lift it by hand. Also one of the local farmers donated 5 cases of very tasty bananas which are going off very quickly so we are eating them at every possible opportunity.
We next moved all the concreting tools and equipment from the Hong Kong slab area to our building area in preparation for Friday’s planned pour. The project for Friday is no small task and requires cementing on the second floor. To help make the job easier we have built a ramp up to the floor to get our cement mixers up there.
The weather here has been really quite hot with minimal rain. The last two days the sunscreen has been flowing as well as the sweat and dirt. Not a great mix!! As we have mentioned many times we continue to tie steel bars together as reinforcement for the cement there are thousands of intersections between bars and as such we have been doing a lot else!
Ollie finished his toilet and antics and finally came out of solitary confinement, to join the tying team. This time we had a various assortment of music from Michael Jackson, John Butler Trio, Hillsong and Filipino love songs! J The end of the day saw us watching the sunset while tying the steel and looking very dirty and tired. Please pray for the team’s strength and health as we are feeling a bit run down at the moment.
Hope you are all well. God bless.

You all look like you're having a great time doing a brilliant job.
Folk here thinks it's fantastic that "somebody" will do what you are doing.
Special love and kisses to Aaron and Allison.
