It is always so interesting, the dynamics of each team and each week.
Here is how it usually goes:
Monday - people are stepping on each other, finding their ‘place’ in the work project
Tuesday - everyone fits together and the work day goes well, tools and jobs are better organized
Wednesday - “How are we going to finish […]

Here are some more photos from the week 1 team. Click to enlarge.
                   

Last week I wrote a post about our trip to the Nursing Home and a lady and her son, who has cp.  We were told that they had come seeking refuge as people had threatened to take her son for his organs.  This is what Javier and Alicia were told in November.  Because it was […]

We made it through our “first day” of the work week. This is always a difficult day as everyone finds their way in the project. What was different about yesterday is that the team that remained from last week was a little tired and the “newbys” needed to jump in not knowing what […]

Well, I have a lot to catch up on so here goes……
Team one left on Saturday morning.  We left at 6:30 a.m. and Sue and I drove them in the blue van to catch their 9:00 flight.  The Holmertz’s were renting a car to go on to Auston, TX to visit friends and the rest flew […]

I guess I’m the guest (and newbie) blogger. Darla dropped me off at the Ciber Cafe on our way to the worksite this morning and said that I should post whatever I’m posting to our email prayer team back at Valley Covenant Church in Stillman Valley, Illinois.
We’re getting a lot accomplished, but hampered by problems […]

Another great day yesterday!
One half of the ceiling is up.  The team is getting faster with each piece they put up.  The taping and mudding will begin today.  The storage room is all tiled and painted and the laundry room is ready for paint and tile.  We will begin to build inside walls today as well as put the roof on […]

Hola!
Our first day of “work” is done and much was accomplished.
After our visit to the school, we began the physical labor in earnest. All the electrical work is completed……however the Electric Company still has not turned on the electricity. Nothing is ever easy! Thanks to Amy’s Spanish, we were able to run […]
