Moving In Day

Well our container arrived today a 7:30 this morning and by 10:00 it was empty. We loaded everything in a couple of rooms except the kitchen boxes and of course Brit's guitar and Luke's teddy bear and Ol' Betsy toy gun. The rest of the things will have to wait until the house is finished.

They made a lot of progress today. They began to tile the master bath and the lounge. They have almost finished the wall they are building in the lounge to make a closet. They have painted almost 1/2 of the ceilings and almost all of the newly plastered walls. We even had to call the plumber back out today because our sewage was backed up! Mark thought we had a problem when he noticed suds in the yard this morning. Now it seems to be fixed.

Yesterday Mark was able to share the gospel with 2 of the workers. Today Joseph was able to talk a little bit to the truck driver. We pray that seeds are planted in the lives of the people God has put and continues to put in our path.

Please pray for Luke he is not feeling very well and started running a fever this evening.

Here are a few pictures from today ...









Mark found his tile saw and his converter. He had fun using his tools today.

Wow! It looks like you had quite a busy day! I am glad you had so much help to get everything unloaded from the container and continue to work on the house. What you have done is looking good!!
We'll be praying for Luke to feel better quickly and for no one else to get it. I know the kids were quite excited to get their things.
I love how God puts us in special places and people in our lives who will strengthen us or who He wants us to develop a relationship with so we can tell them about God. What a perfect place you are in! God has placed many people in your home giving you some time to work together and develop a relationship with them. How exciting to share your love for God with them!
We love you so very much.
