A great afternoon off!

This morning we began like we have the last 2 days with a early wake up call and heading out to site by 7:30.  We spent the morning preparing the walls to support the roof structure.  We spend the morning tomorrow putting the roof on the houses.  It is very excited to see these house taking shape so quickly.  After we finished this morning we had lunch as a group back at the hotel.  We were then free for the afternoon.  Many of us spent time at the pool, napping and going shopping at the market.  I had the chance to barter with a few merchants in the market.  It was a great time to have take a break from the long days of building for a chance to recharge the batteries a little.  Tomorrow we will get back into the normal 2-a-day building schedule.  We are excited for the last couple of days and to see the houses come to fruition and become a homes.  Our prayer request today is that the families can use these house to God's glory in what ever way possible.  Also, that God can make himself even more evident in these families lives.

Thanks again for all of your prayers.

shalom,
