A few more pictures--Tuesday

Work Team--Tuesday

We had a good day today with the work team from Kansas. In an amazingly short time they hauled the heavy, cement beams from our side yard up to the second story, where they put them in place for the roof. They then hauled up some 330 heavy, cement roof blocks and put them in place. The problem is, they did it so fast that they almost worked themselves out of a job before noon! It helps to have Ben and Nate, who are big,strong, hard working, farm kids!

The girls were up on the roof of the church, spreading tar, which is to seal the bricks so that water won't enter. Martha said that she took a lot of pictures of that, so I will get them from her in the morning.

Some of the church ladies came to help me with meals, so we had a good time in the kitchen. We fixed scrambled eggs with bacon, and potato patties for breakfast, enchildads, beans and rice for lunch, and ham and cheese sandwiches and fruit pizza for dinner.

I didn't get a lot of pictures today, and will try to do better tomorrow.

Nervous Ladies in Bernal

At our weekly Wednesday ladies Bible study last week Martha and I talked to the ladies about our new study and new strategy. Starting next week the ladies are going to take turns teaching the study. That made for a few nervous, "what's?" from them! Most of them are quite capable to teach a Bible study, and we want this year to be a time of them learning to lead a study and to be confident in doing it.

Yolanda volunteered to be first, so she starts next week. We will then have a two week break for Easter vacation (a full two weeks here), and then the other ladies will take turns. Please remember to pray for them as they learn to use the gifts and knowledge that God has given them.

Lancy in Thailand

Lancy left on February 21st for Thailand, taking the scenic route from Boise, to Washington DC, to Frankfurt, Germany, to Bangkok. Her scheduled flight had been cancelled that day, so they sent her the "long way around the world". She is getting settled in Bangkok, is living in an apartment just a few blocks from her co-workers, Jeff and Jessica. She starts language school next week. Please pray for her and all of the adjustments to be made, and especially the language. Other missionaries have told them that it is a hard language to learn.
