Progress

   We haven't been posting to many pictures or articles on this blog, because the initial tear down is basically completed as far as Nathan was able to. And building the foundations and digging trenches takes quite awhile. The bosses are also working on the small school, Sunday school, meeting place building down below the church mainly for the last couple weeks. Everything is going at a good pace though if you think "Haiti".
  Another huge challenge has been the rain and the mud, even if it doesn't rain for 2 days the truck can't get up the mountain from the river, so it needs 2 and a half really sunny days to be able to haul rocks and sand. Steve and Nate hauled 3 of sand and 1 of rock a couple days ago. So they're able to keep working. It's amazing to how the ladies dig the sand right out of the river bed in no time and seems like very little effort.

The guys with the wheel barrows coming running up a steep
 hill from where you see them someone fills the barrows and of they
cruise down the hill. They can make a sport out of anything almost.

Building foundation walls for the small school/etc house below the church building.


Can you see a big cement plant in this picture, and the cement
truck waiting to load up???!!!! It's all "ARM STRONG" machinery.

Steve coming with a load of sand, it such a small road down to Madam pastor's house that you have to hug the mountain so as not to roll down the mountain.

Turned around and ready to unload. This dump truck used to be an old water truck in Florida for a fire hall, Don Weaver bought it and had a box built on it, but it don't have any hydraulic lift, so it's all shovel on shovel of work. We're glad to be able to use it though for projects.

This is behind the church building where the foundation is starting to go up.
