progress

So I've been down here two weeks so far, the last week was taken up mainly by the going ons of the annual missionary conference that was at the camp this year. So during that time I was mainly doing fixit jobs and running to town for groceries when needed since the house was occupied with guests. The bathroom is up and running with hot water, a wonderful shower and even the washing machine. This coming week we'll be getting a little more work done on the house once all the guests leave (Uncle Terry & Aunt Carol, The Flincks) and we don't have to worry quite as much about disrupting anyone but ourselves. Today we got the polycarbinite windows done in the clerestory which really lets in a lot of light, and cut down on the noise quite a bit. Next thing on the agenda will probably be getting kitchen cabinets made so we can set the countertop and maybe get the sink hooked up. That was one other thing I got done today, was hooking up the stove, which was a good thing because Aunt Carol made some wonderful sweets. So thats the progress so far, look for some more pics in the future.

Back to Chile!

The Lord has provided, and I'm headed back to Chile in about a week and a half. I have my tickets in hand (well in my e-mail box) and I leave Jan 16th, and return to the US on Feb 14th. I would ask that everyone would pray for safty on the trip, and that while down there I will be able to get a lot accomplished on the house for Dan and Liz, and hopefully get it to the livable point. The majority of the work will be laying tile floor, hanging and mudding sheetrock, and triming stuff out. There is also the kitchen to work on which will involve making cabinets. It's a lot of work to do in a month, so pray also for the energy to stick with it and get it done. I'd like to say thank you, again, to everyone that helped out financialy on this trip, it wouldn't be possible without you. Hopefuly next time I write here it will be from Chile! =)
