So today started a little earlier for 3 of us (Andrew, John & Charles) as they headed off to Palissa for Andrew to see the work that has been done by HopeBuilders there as well as form a board to manage the project in a small town called Ngalwe.
The rest of the team got into it at the building site. The goal was to get as much done as possible because we'd like to get the house up above the windows by the time we leave. We only have a few full days of building left so the pressure is on!!
A rain shower just before lunch had us doing a panic to cover our brickwork, only to see the rain stop when we'd finally covered it all!!!
Lunch was a well deserved break than it was into it again for the afternoon. Our plan was to work until 6 pm so that we would get heaps done, but alas, we ran out of bricks and the truck that was supposed to come to bring up more from the bottom of the block didn't turn up till late. So, we all got into loading the truck 3 times with bricks and formed human chains to stack them. We are ready for tomorrow now.. bricks galore!!
This afternoon we also discovered that we have a new calf. It was born on Sunday, so we had to check it out!!
We finally dragged ourselves home at 6.30, tired and very hungry. Lucky for us, Juliette and Alice had cooked a large pot of spaghetti bolognese for us to eat and there was none left!
Have a look at the photos below for an impression in pics...

WOW! You are progressing fantastically, great to see the walls coming up, must be close to getting the window flames in soon :) Nice looking calf too and the school in Ngalwe looks awesome, we trust God that the new board will work in unity under God's leading. Keep up the great work and keep smiling... The Best is Yet to Come!
