We’ve had a crew here for two weeks now digging and mixing mud. Today they started forming bricks. We’re going to bake them right here on site. The metal roof system should also be arriving any minute. I just hope the truck can make it to the back of the property without sinking in the mud. It’s been raining like crazy until the last couple of days.
We had to fire our architect because he wasn’t doing his job. We hired another architect yesterday and he seems to be on top of things. He’s much more experienced and he’s helping to “Africanize” our plans. We plan on meeting up with him this afternoon.
Well I just got a call that the truck is just up the road so I will have to resume this later…
…Ok it’s later.
We have our steel, we have our plans and we have two fundi (the guys helping us erect the buildings) that will be staying with us for the next couple of weeks. This house is getting pretty packed full of people.
So my main job here to help with this building project. Problem is I really feel like I don’t have a clue what I’m doing. Sometimes I really don’t know what the heck I’m doing here. I’m learning a lot, but I still feel completely under equipped. Please keep me in your prayers. I’ve spent a lot of time crying out to the Lord for guidance lately. He always comes through, just not always when I want.
Tomorrow is going to be a long day. I don’t do much manual labor anymore which is what I’ll be doing.

I am so glad that things are going well and that your project is under way. Sorry to hear that you had to fire someone, but glad you able to find a great replacement. I have been keeping you in prayers and will continue to pray that God will bring you guidance and knowledge. Dont worry about feeling lost, God will guide you and I sure he has been. It is less than 3 weeks until I leave and will probably face some of the same challenges. I am so happy for you and can only imagine how proud God is of you. I can picture him with the biggest smile on his face just relaxing in the knowledge that you have chosen to honor him with your acceptance of his plan for your life. Keep on learning, its good for you :)
You are doing awesome things man. When the center is all said and done you will not only feel a great sense of personal accomplishment for completing this task, but you will be comforted by the knowledge that you have done the Lord's work and provided for his children.
Just as the seasons come and go, so will your confidence and spirit; but remember: the Lord is your rock.
