Life in Serenje

I know, I am long overdue for a new post. The last few weeks have been pretty eventful.

The project: The roof is almost on the new building. The picture above is not where we are, just the most recent. We have begun putting the roofing sheets on the side showing. You can see in the picture the "mobile scaffold" in the back of the truck. It is pretty handy. We continue to plug along on several projects. Mostly roofing, plastering the walls and some plumbing and block laying on the guest house.

People: A lot of people have come and gone through here the last few weeks. Randy's wife came to visit. They spent some time traveling so I was at the site without him. Luckily I had James. Marlin Rice, A guy from our church who is an entomologist came to work with our farm manager to help grow crops for the children. It was great to have him around to invest some serious time with the Ag side of the project, and also to tell us what every bug was (and explain it's life cycle), and it was good to have someone to sip some wine with in the evenings.

Dr. Brian from Omaha and two other doctors, Karen and Abbie were also with us for two weeks. They worked in the hospital. They made a great impact on the community and helped save many lives. I was overwhelmed daily when they came and told stories of what they saw each day. I couldn't't have done it. Kudos to them.

James, the superworker, has also left us. His sentence here was up so he went home. He was a huge blessing, and great company. Thanks James!

My friend Josh Jensen is here now and will help us get the roofs finished. He is only here for a short time though.

The work, and life in general is more routine than ever. That doesn't mean that we don't get curve balls every now and then, but we are able to easily deal with them. The time also seems like it is winding down. There is a lot of work to do. I know we will get it done, but it is daunting to think of all of the details. I'm glad I have good help. God is good, all the time.
