THE WOOD IS HERE!

After ordering the rafter wood 3 months ago, the wood has finally arrived. Not the straightest boards I ever saw, but we are going to have to make do.
Making the patern for the trusses!

As you can see the walls are almost all at 3 meters high.
The next big task is getting the roof up and on!

BEAUTIFUL REST

I am back in the bush again after spending a wonderful 4 days of rest by the river!

It was a very peaceful time with lots of thinking and refocusing my thoughts. I was blown away again with the presence of God. After arriving at the lake and seeing how nice and big it was, i said to myself i would love to be able to fish! Well no sooner had i thought it than a man by the name of Oliver came walking up and said to me are you a fisher man, ahha i said no but i would love to fish, He said I am leaving 4 in the morning and you are coming along! and I said all righty then!
This is Oliver and me fishing, this man had all the fishing gear you needed and more. we where able to hire the boat and drive it for like 10 dollars a day. We spent 2 full days of fun and adventure on the lake. To see more pics including some pics of the crocodile that wanted to eat us, click on (more pics) at the bottom.

The last day there I went out on the boat early in the morning to see the sun come up, then spent a few hours fishing and just resting on the boat. I could not believe how refreshing this time was and wished I had done it a lot sooner. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers. I will start back into the swing of things tomorrow by a day in town checking on the wood for my Rafters!

FRONT WALL UP!

There you have it the front wall at the right level! hoping to get the rest of the walls ready in the next weeks. Then it is just waiting for the wood to be done for the rafters.




I am asking you guys for some prayer help. These last few weeks I have been feeling a bit under the weather, with the condition and circumstances of the place here and the challenges that life has been bringing my way.


I am finding my self drained and needing a boost of modivation. So This week as i am planning on taking a few days off at a resort type place on the way to Zimbabwe I am asking that you would pray that God would meet with me. Thanks for your support! I will keep you posted next week! Peace!

FEBUARY IS HERE

This week Enoch did a small amount of building on the inside closet walls. I am still waiting on the wood from town for the trusses, there saw keeps breaking down and all I can say is welcome to Mozambique! Also we have a few other jobs that are quite pressing at the moment, like finishing the roof at the school so they can start meeting inside (I will try to get some pics of that as well), Getting Dwights cottage done so that they can move to the new farm, and cutting some logs to dry so when we are ready to make doors it is good and dry.
