Greetings!! Today we had quite the interesting day. First off Mike and me got up early and went up to Phu Chi Fa to see the sun rise it is about 12Km from here and about a 20 min walk straight up the mountain. I am guessing we climbed around 1000-1200’ in elevation. It was quite the morning workout, there were about a 1000 people up there when we got there we watched the sunrise and tried to get some pics looking over Laos I am not sure how good they are going to turn out as it was quite hazy out this morning. We then headed back for an 8am breakfast, then after our morning devotion we went to a house of one of the guys from the congregation for what we thought was church but turned out that they wanted us to rename his younger brother. It seems the best I can understand that in this culture when a boy reaches manhood they give him a new name so we gave him the name John Mark and then they served us breakfast and toasted the boy and we all prayed together, then we all got in LaSongs truck and went up the hill to the next village where we would do church and where Jason would name the baby girl of which he named her Rebekah after we got to lay hands on her and pray and I got to hold her and have some pics taken and then they served us food again. Meanwhile a load of bricks came and were unloaded at the site. We drilled in some rebar’s that needed to get done and checked the mortar that was set yesterday and found it to be very good. Then we came back to our little cabin and did some reading and some napping all in all a great day. Have a blessed day
