Moving the earth

How many wheelbarrow loads of dirt can be moved in two days? We didn't keep count, so there isn't an exact number to answer that question. Let's just say that we are sufficiently sore :)

Everyone has been working hard to create a beautiful front yard for the second childrens' home at the Open Arms (OA) Village. The mission team that preceeded us was able to complete the yard area for the first house.

It was VERY exciting to see five houses under construction at our Open Arms property in Eldoret, Kenya. The craftmanship is the best I have seen in Kenya. We were especially impressed by the stone masons who hand chisel 50 large bricks a day for the exterior walls and the plaster work on the interior walls. They will be wonderful homes for the HIV/AIDS orphans to live in with our houseparents.

We split into two groups yesterday - one to move dirt at the OA Village & one to pack medical supplies for our clinics next week. We all enjoyed dinner together afterward praising the Lord for all He allowed us to accomplish in two days.

Asante sana! (Thank you very much!)
