Renos

Things are coming along nicely with the house. It will still be a long time before we are in, but with Valentin being on top of things we are encouraged by the results he gets. He has been on people's tails all week and now the roof is ready for cement. Today he again on the phone and the last of the supplies arrived today for the roof. First the rebar came this morning, then this afternoon the sand and cement, and about half an hour ago the gravel. He, Valentin, is leaving tomorrow for the weekend, he is going to a family reunion in Puerto Plata, so told us that we should have a roof Friday or Saturday. Please pray that all goes well, his reunion, our roof, and the group of 400 here from the 7th Day Adventists. Should be an interesting weekend!! After the roof gets poured, we have to wait 7 days before the wooden braces come off. So it is important to get things done. We are thinking another month we should be in!! Things are okay with where we are staying now, just so cramped with Brent and I in one small room and the girls in another. We had to replace the ceiling in the girls room last Sunday as Mikaela was getting badly bitten by something, were still not sure what it was. Her arms were just covered! We got some ointment from the farmacia and changed her mattress. The photos we have posted with this are of the current view of the outside of the house and the inside of the kitchen area, with a "planning session" going on. We are blessed with the help that we are getting from all the people at the camp! Talk to you soon.
