Today was the first day it did not rain on us here in Alaska. It was cool (mid 50’s) and partly cloudy but often SUNNY!!!!. There is something besides mud to walk around on the ground. Thanks God for a break in the weather.
We had our last full day of work with this group of team members, and again it was a very productive day. Brice’s team spent most of the day putting soffit and fascia up on parts of all three structures. Phil and Cory finished putting the plywood on the walls of the chapel, and moved on to helping Tony’s team with drywall in the church. The drywall team got the storage area, kitchen, both bathrooms, the front entryway, and fellowship hall roughed in with drywall. Tomorrow they will probably finish the chapel, and utility room. That will finish the drywall rough in all the buildings.
The project manager has a drywall finisher (Howard) working on the small house now. He has the temperature up to 80 degrees in the house so the drywall mud dries faster. He must really like the heat.
We had a brief introduction to the Pastor today. George Landlord and his wife Eunice returned with their three children to Marshall. Their youngest son Isaiah is adopted. He was both very premature and at only 2 pounds. The family had been away for a surgery for Isaiah. Jim, our site manager wanted to show them the progress that had been made on the church and their new home, so we did not get much of a chance to meet them after supper.
We had a gathering to sing worship songs and share our experiences tonight. It was the last evening to gather before some of the team returns home. It was a heartfelt time of sharing, and acknowledgement that even though we are very different people, we share a family bond thru Christ. We also want to thank all our family and Woodlands family for the support, encouragement and prayer. It is good to be in the body of believers.
