Living, Working, Learning

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.
