Hey there......where have you been I've been waiting on you! ...thats probably what you have been thinking about us updating our blog. Sorry I am horrible at this. Well what have we been up to since the district convention. Not to much.......this is where our crew is currently been working. This is the shipping/ literature warehouse. We have been working on the loading dock and the road and retaining wall in front.
 Here Aaron and some of the brothers on our crew are setting the caps on the retaining wall. Just so you know what I (krystal) have been up to on all of this, I formed and finished the caps and there is a drain that is right in front of the loading dock and there are these little dog bones that cross it made out of concrete. So thats my small contribution to all the work going on in this area.
 Another picture of the loading dock with the lift in it.
 Watching while we work.....
This is the service/office building. It is in current demo mode. Originally it was suppose to be just remolded and a new roof but they have discovered that the building is in worse shape than they thought so at the moment we are awaitng the word to find out what will happen to the building......no matter what this adds on to the length of the project so we will be here a little longer.....
 This is the new kitchen/dinning room extention. It is suppose to be completed in middle Jan and they sill move in and be fully functioning in Feb for the upcoming zone visit.
 Here is the inside of the extention...what you are looking at is what will be the dinning room area.
 And this is the shops building....still has a lot to be finished before we can completely turn it over to the branch because construction is using a lot of it for storage and a carpentry shop.
 This is a picture of our current crew from left to right is Henrik ( from Sweden), Toni (from Finland), Matthew, Dominic (a special pioneer), Rufus, and you know the other two.
      Before the District convention Jack Whiting left us.....we had a special breakfast set up for him the last morning he was with us......this is our current morning worship table. Sometime in Feb we will be in the new dinning room. So that you know who some of these  brothers and sisters are from 12 o'clock on is Tarnue and his wife Alice, then Jack, Varfee, Emanuel, Nathaniel and his wife Maude, Beniah, and then us.
 This is a family who has just came into our hall a couple months ago...our congregation took some territory from another and they came with it. They are a great family....had many experiences to tell us about serving as CO and DO during the war here in Liberia......for those of you who know Brother Clink he worked with them while they were here in Liberia.

We had a family beach day the first of October. The whole family was able to go and play and have fun. A nice start to a busy time of year.

We came back from morning worship and saw Diesel stuck in the fence...he had this look of shame on his face. Can't say I blame him, being cooped up in a pin all day.
 This is Jack. He is an IV brother who has been working on our crew.....
 The UN helicopter flys over the site at least 2 or 3 times a day..Finally a sister here was able to get a picture of it.
 Saw this Dad and it made me think of you.....
 Since the warehouse has been finished on the inside we have been working out it. We had 15 of us this night. While we exercise the guys play football or soccer.

Setting trusses on the warehouse. We had to take off the old Roof and pour a ring beam and put on a new roof. Here the are talking oout how to go about things. The building wasnt't square to we had to off set the trusses, etc.

So here is most of our crew and their family.....We had a crew party last Saturday and fired up the pizza oven. For most of them it was their first time having pizza...they liked it but said that they were not used to eating cheese. So I made a few with very little cheese. More for us!
