Last Day

Today the plan is the relax and soak up the sun at the beach and make gift purchases. It has been raining this morning, but hopefully the sun will break through soon.

Some of our new friends who helped in Spot Valley this week are planning to meet is at the beach. Looking forward to spending time with them as well. One of the guys told me that he is not a Christian. I plan to explain the gospel more fully to him today. Pray for him (Odieayne).

Great Day 2 in Spot Valley

Today we were able to pour the concrete for the top portion of the wall and footings for two sets of stairs leading into the church building.

We had to get the water for the concrete from a nearby stream that we transported in a large drum.

Here are few pictures from the day. With more to follow above.

Concrete Pouring

Today we will be pouring concrete in the cast we constructed yesterday to complete the top portion of a brick wall.

We were unable to mix the concrete because they were out of water. The plan is to use a neighbor's water today if he received a deliver yesterday after we left or this morning.

Here is a picture of our good Jamaican breakfast.
