Well the last 2 days have been hectic. Jason has been sick for the last couple days and now he is starting to feel better, so please lift him up in your prayers.We finally got the perimeter of the building poured (about 14 cubic meters of concrete). We have had about 6 to 8 Hmong guys just working their butts off then in the afternoon the wives come up and show them how to work. I have worked harder the last 2 days then I can remember working in a long time. We are having the time of our lives we have been without interpreter for 4 plus days now and we are getting it figured out, well everyone is still smiling. We got 1 LD of bricks (380) delivered and unloaded by hand we have about 6 or 7 more to come. We got the slab graded and stoned and wires mesh down and hope to get a big portion of that poured tomorrow. Had to drive in to Chaing Kham (45 kilometers away) today to settle up with the building supply store so that they would keep delivering materials, doesn’t sound like much but it is definitely an adventure. First me getting into the small truck and driving on the wrong side of the road, having to negotiate mountain roads, and not being able to read the signs, and not speaking a word of Thai. Happy to say we did it and we didn’t kill or mame anyone. So all in all I think it has been a great couple of days. 7 more work days left for us and a whole lot to do. We are setting our sights on being able to get walls up and stand the trusses before we leave God willing. Talk to you all soon
