What a week or should I say WEAK! We worked hard this week and had busy days! The concrete for the rest of the first floor was poured, a 60 cm deep ditch was dug around the entire building so that the ground wire and lightning poles could be installed. I don't know how to explain that system so if it's vague, I'm sorry about that. We also were able to get the gate at the Mission House completely scraped this week. The team enjoyed playing volleyball with the Youth one night, going out for Laura's b-day another night and playing football yet another evening. We also had Graduation Commencement for Natasha and Darla.

BTW- we played the kind of football that is played with your foot, not the kind that is mostly played with your hands! Go figure! :)

By Thursday evening, these poor bones were exhausted and I knew we needed a day off so we took Friday off. That was a good thing for we some of us began to get sick and it's been going through everyone. So we would appreciate your prayers!

When we get a good connection, I will post more pictures!

• Continue to pray for the finances of the Youth Center! The dollar value continues to drop which means our dollar is worth less and won't buy as much. There have been costs that we were not made aware of when we tried to set a budget. Two examples of this are the "electrical/lightning thing" that will cost a few thousand as well as being told by someone who is supposed to know what's going on that we would not need certain inspection ("expertise") only to be told later that we did need it. This is the huge challenge of having a building project in a foreign country. Things just don't operate the same way as in the states. So please pray that God will meet the needs. He is in control and He is helping!
