First day of construction

Wihow, what a productive day.  It started when we met at church and I saw all my friends from last year.  They all gave me a hug and said "hi yak".  They cannot pronounce Jack.  We then divided up into teams for the two houses.  I  attempting to show you the varioous stages we do.  The masons have erected the walls and the beams for the roof were in place when we arrived.  What a suprise from last year when thew were not done until the last day.  We started with the roof, mortered the outlets, hauled sand for the floors.  See the picture of Rich and the ramp and wheelborrow we worked with.  After leveling floors we had to tamp the floor to get ready for tomorrows cenemt floors.
Bev, Joy I have been taking care of my dogs and candy for the kids.
Nancy, I gave a hug to Karla for you, me and all the medical team.
Tomorrow I will tell you what we do on day two.

[this is a side note for Pastor Raasch]  Do you think Pastor Scheck would be proud of US?  I believe he is working thru you and myself to help fullfil his dream of evangelism.  Even if it takes us to Guatemala!
