We got some help...

This past weekend we got some wonderful help in the renovations for the new diggs. April Clark, our worship leader, had a visit from her home church - Valley Fellowship, Hunstville, AL. Their focus was to serve Casa Angelina, a local orphanage, but as their week rolled over a weekend they had some time on their hands. We don't have many photos of the day. But be that as it may, they came and made it happen. This team of 12 put a major dent in the renovation's "gotta get it done first" list - ranging from ceiling work, cutting shrubs, cleaning the gutters in the kids area and pulling even more staples. These guys rock - Yea God!

My Wifes Hair...

This is a photo of my wife's long hair. One year in letting grow - partially on her part as a challenge to keep me from cutting my hair. Just for the record, I love my wife's long hair.

Renovations cont. ....

This week has been full of pulling more staples from the children's area, replacing sinks, and patching what had fallen from the old adobe walls.

The New Diggs...

Today we took official occupancy for this section of the new building. This was formally a day care center - "Sesame Mundu". Of course all copyrights have been cleared...

Our children's director Maria Dolores' first comment in the what do you think factor was this - "We will need more volunteers to accomodate all of the children we have space for." Now that's what I call visionary.

There are several challenges for this section including a bad cistern, roofs falling, oil painted murals and the 7 years of staples on all of the walls and ceilings, just to name a few.
