Ferd and the men spent the whole day preparing the new village meeting area for the shelter they plan to build. The rains are starting and we have had to cancel the Bible Study once already, and know that if we keep cancelling, interest will fade and we need to strike while the iron is hot. Many of the attenders are not saved but are faithful to come and listen. We have worked too hard to stop now.
Ferd and the men hauled in several truck loads of gravel and hand shoveled it out and layed it all over the ground, elevating the ground about a foot or so, so that there will be no flooding and mud where we sit.
Next, we will start erecting the poles and are still trying to find some more affordable tin roofing. Our first church plant completely supports this effort by not only giving their time to help us go minister here but by paying for the xerox the worksheets and providing a snack which is courteous here. However, something big like a vehicle and shelter is way beyond their means and so we continue to wait on the Lord....
Meanwhile, back at the farm... (-; I was busy up to my eyeballs too. Of course I have homeschool with Sean now. He was so far behind in school ( about 6 months due to both our sicknesses) that I have to really fuel the homeschool train. It's not my favorite thing, but we finally found our niche. We are doing the Abeka video courses so I dont have to teach him, but he's here at home receiving a Christian education. I love it!
WHile helping Sean, I am also bouncing back and forth with the church helping prepare for VBS, which is HUGE here. There will be SO many kids, from all 6 vilages and we are trying to get ready.

I was so exhausted today I thought I'd curl up in hole somewhere and just die...seriously. We have to hand make all our propts and decorations. Above is Bro.JoJo making clouds. They hand painted all the background scenes for the actors to do their skits, etc. I am doing all the music and crafts, etc.. I'm already exhausted and VBS is still a few days away...
