Well it has been a while since we last published a post. Sorry for the gap. Since our last one Aaron's dad, Ed Paul, past away. It has been rough needless to say but we appreciate all the kind words of sympathy and for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

We return to our assignment in Liberia December 31st. We will update the site with more pictures of how the project is progressing. Until then......

Hello! How is everyone? We are doing okay. We are currently at home in Georgia. we came home in late September for Aaron's dad. He isn't doing real well and wanted us to be home before he got worse. He isn't doing any better but we are glad to be here with him and family. We hope to get back to our assignment a soon as we can and will keep you updated as to when we will be back. Below is a big family picture of Aaron's side and a recent picture of us. We miss you all and may Jehovah be with you in all your endeavors.

This is our first invite to a studies house for lunch.........enjoy!!!!

YUMMMMM.......fish!

The Brother on the left is the one studying with the other man in the Picture. His name is Andrean.

The kids playing beside us as we eat.

The Brothers and Aaron are constructing a tent to work under for days like these.........


We went to morning worship and it was a light rain. When we came out it was like this. Needless to say we swam home :)

These are the trenches the are about 3 feet deep filled with water. In the month of June we got over a meter in rain.

Here is Aaron heading to work.....or to play in the rain.

This picture is right outside our bedroom window. The water got higher than this after the picture was taken but Aaron and a few Brothers had to bust a hole in the wall for the water to drain because the septis tanks are down there. You can see the tops of them in the pictures. Aaron said that when they got over there, there where huge cock roaches on the wall stuggling to stay above the water. How gross!

When the guys after work still have energy they play soccer. They play on the "volley ball" court, we currently don't have a net so its not a big deal.
When they kick it a little to hard this is where it goes.........

This is nemo ( called this beacause he was the last to survive but has since died)

This is a lizard that we see daily. We find them running around, climbing walls, and doing push ups. Their favorite past time is to bask in the sun. (they really do push ups, I'm working on getting it on video.)

The skys here are beautiful.......there doesn't seem to be much polution so the contrast of the blue and white of the clouds is so vivid.

Even with all the rain the bothers move along in construction. Here below is Aaron and some brothers pouring the footings for the new residence.

Here is the septic tank walls. They actually have been poured and the top as well. I will put the pictures up on the next update.

Here a few brothers are pouring blinding where they dug the footings. THey do this so they won't loose the compaction when it rains.

This is the form of the trickle filter. I'm not sure how it will connect to the over all system but when I figure it out I'll let you know. Looks cool, doesn't it?

Sorry about the order the pictures went up. This is the brothers pouring the floor on the septic tank. At the top of the picture you see two brothers who would shovel the concrete down the slide into buckets that the bros passed on to the right spot. Lots of work and not to mention sstinky work clothes!
