Hello Everyone,
Well we been up here in the village for 4 days and not alot to show yet. We are definately on Thai time, there is alot of hoops to jump through here. The machine they were supposed to have here when we got here still hasn't arrived. We are waiting on some approvals from the head guys of the area, being that we are exactly on the Laos border they are afraid to just do something. I think that of the insecurity of the machines arrival we are probably just going to start excavating by hand LawSong (the Pastor of this village) thinks he can get us 30 men with shovels or picks to work with us so we can get something done. We have got the design done and finally approved by the congregation so we have ordered materials. Ordering materials is of course a challenge because we are doing things different than they understand (mainly cause of the time constraints) however we are moving forward and steel is being delivered today and we are going to start building trusses. I would ask everyone to just lift us in prayer that things may come together and we can be a full blessing to his kingdom.
