Picking up the Pace!

(The following is from Zack in Serenje as he anticipates the coming of 8 Cornerstone men and 2 Brookside men who will travel to Serenenje next week. Please pray for those who will primarily work on the Hope buildings and for those of us who will be sitting with our Zambian leadership team to establish the soon-to-come opening of the Hope Center! -Jeff)
So last Friday the reality hit me that the group coming from Ames would arrive in about a week. It was the first time that I thought "I'm running out of time" Now really, I have a lot of time left, bu it is officially crunch time. I spent the weekend getting caught up on paperwork, cleaning up at home and getting "ready" for being run over by this project. Monday, There was a new tone on the job site. There was no longer any time for messing around, no longer any time to put off the projects no one wanted to do. On a different side of things, Jack is on his final week here in Zambia. He has been taking advantage of each morning with the workers to teach them from the bible. That also set a more defined tone for the week. Overall, we have gotten a lot done. Lots of little projects, as well as beginning painting. That's kind of an exciting step, to get to paint stage. I'll post some picture soon.
