Today the team poured seven columns. That’s a lot of cement, people! The church building is really coming together.

I missed a day of work to prepare to preach tomorrow. It was good to get a bit of rest. It also enabled me to call Carol Steele after the passing of Don today. We’re in prayer for his family as they go through this dark valley.

Tomorrow we’ll get a little more rest. The plan is to go on an outing with the team in the morning and then to go to church in La Romana in the evening.

Again we thank you for your ongoing prayers. Keep Leo in your prayers. He is a good friend and a loyal co-worker with the Beardens. He had to go to the hospital today because of chickagunya. We’re all applying our mosquito spray so we won’t suffer the same fate.
