I uploaded a handful of pictures down below, go take a look! I think they loaded twice… but that’s better than not at all!

Things are going great! Today we tied together all of the rebarb (sp?) and got ready to pour the concrete which will be the floor for the second floor. We had a crew at another feeding site, and I heard that went really well too. The feeding site we went to yesterday was pretty amazing. Tucked away RIGHT BEHIND this main strip of shops and luxurious hotels for all of the tourists is this little community of maybe 150 people. Within a stone’s throw of luxury is intense poverty… but that doesn’t stop these people from being absolutely lovable. They were so kind and grateful for our visit… I wanted to kidnap a few of them (in Jesus’ name of course) and take them home. I’d betcha a million bucks that each one of those people will benefit from having this community center in their town when it is completed. I can’t say it enough how amazing it is that this sort of thing will be available to these people. I wouldn’t be surprised if a few of these students will want to come back and work there! Consider yourself warned

I’m relentless with the water drinking- I ask the kids about every 12 seconds if they’re drinking enough. We’re being fed very well, mostly from a group of women that take care of our meals. Eating out here is VERY affordable, so we’ve gone out a couple times. The students have walked 4 miles every day to go get a shake at “Jonah’s”. I don’t think the shake is worth the walk, but we love the journey together.

We start pouring the concrete tomorrow! It’s going to be hard work, but these students are amazing. We’ll be taking lots of breaks away from the sun, but this will probably be the most tenuous day yet. Please be praying for health and energy and JOY for our team! Everything has been amazing so far, and I’d love to see it stay that way!!

Gotta wrap this up and hit the sack. Keep the prayers and comments coming
