Hey again.....how is everyone? We hope that all are doing well and keeping warm. We are doing fine here. we are working at getting back in a routine, but I think the heat is slowing us down a bit. It actually wasn't to bad when we first arrived but now its progressively getting worse. Its great in the wee hours of the morning though. Below you see a picture of a few of the Brothers in the dark....we started to pour half of the roof deck on Wednesday. We started to pour at 6:50 and finished at 3:45...It takes so long because we have to mix it all on our own. Below there is a picture of the JCB lifing up about 4 wheel barrows full of concrete then the Brothers would carry it to whereever we are dumping and then they had a "wheel barrow shoot" of sorts that they would slide them down to return for a refill. It actually worked quite well. There is a group shoot of all the Inernational volunteers and servants who are here. Then there is a picture of the maintance building...right now it is currently just footers and block we will pour the slab later. I don't know when though. Feild service is going well...we are trying to get in the grove with our pervious studies and are working up some new ones. Its amazing how many you can have. Oh that reminds me....the first meetings we were back for the Brothers working the sound booth couldn't get the music started and it was a new song, so the brother conducting said, "On the count of 3 we will start" Well needless to say nobody wanted to start it so we waited a few moments and the brothers got the music to start, to the relisf of many. Well thats about all thats happened since we have been back. We love and miss you all.......tah tah for now!
