Thursday - Day 10 Thank you for your prayers! Keep praying! We had a pretty good day today. The morning was nice, in the low to mid 30's but then snow and rain came in the afternoon. We had to shut down about 45 minutes early after working through the snow and rain for quite a while. Please continue to pray for good weather so the work that needs to be done over the next week to 10 days can be finished.

All of the block for the first floor walls are finished. We are continuing to make the forms for the concrete pillars as well as the door headers. Most of the pillars have been poured on the first floor and quite a few of the door / window headers. All of the forms are built by hand as well as all concrete is poured by using a mixer, wheelbarells, shovels and man power. Rebar is also tied together to put into the pillars, over the windows / doors and also in the stairs. The stairs will be poured with concrete and lots of rebar. This takes lots of time to do all of this but God has been helping and we are very pleased with the progress that has been made.

• Continue to pray for the proper approvals and signatures. Sally went today to the city to meet with some of the necessary people to see if we could make any headway and it appears like we will be given the ok tomorrow. For those of you who know about foreign countries, please don't get to excited, for things can change in a moments notice. Our enemy is fighting because he wants to stop anything that will bring glory and honor to God. So continue to pray for these men, that God will soften their hearts and give the necessary approvals.
