Two Hard Days of Work Pouring Concete Floors.

Wednesday began the first day of hauling, mixing, pouring, smoothing and cleaning up for our project of cement floors in Vicente Guerrero. As you can see by the photos, this was a long, hot process. The cement mixer was hauled around by "manpower" up and down hills, the homes all had the gravel, sand and concrete bags already on their home sites, and all the ingredients were shoveled and then dumped by hand.

We were able to pour 3 homes on Wednesday and 2 on Thursday. Five down, seven more to go... BOY ARE WE SORE!!! It feels good to have accomplished the ones we've done, and to leave a blessing to this community and families is well worth the "slight, momentary afflictions."

Wednesday was also the first day that we were able to do childrens ministry. More will be coming about that later.

Please keep us in prayer as we learn to adjust ourselves to the heat and really develop into a team, utilizing our gifts and abilities wisely. We want to promote productivity, reduce irritation and stress with each other, and really accomplish the things that the Lord has set before us to do...to be a blessing and walk out the Kingdom.
