Congerville and Eureka Feb 6th-13th

Once again I am way behind on getting our blog up to date. We were blessed with visitors form our home church of Congerville and neighboring Eureka in February. Susie took over 700 hundred pictures during the week so I had a lot to choose from. Our main tasks for the week was to pour a new basketball court for the kids, remodel one of the dorms into an apartment, continue the fence around the property and work on the house. It was a very busy week. I am planning to post more pictures than type because for some reason every time I type things are being underlined.

Our first look of the group at the Tucson airport.

Filling out visas at the border.

Their first look at the dorms, doesn't Kay look excited.

On Sunday afternoon we drove the bus to the Mount of the Cross to hike.

After the hike we spent the evening playing with the kids.

Sunday night supper.

We started out "full steam ahead" on Monday morning with the many projects.

These hard working boys mixed over 50+ yards of concrete over the week.

Mexican cement comes in 120lbs bags.

The first load of concrete for the basketball court. Only 50 yards more to go.

If you can't find a hammer use you're head, or better yet, somebody else's.

In the US we call J.U.L.I.E. to locate underground utilities. In Mexico we call M.A.R.K.

We needed to move the line down to run the new sewer line over the top anyway.

Tuesday night we headed into town to visist the Plaza and eat at Lupita's

On Wednesday the rain came.

On Thursday the sun was back but the mud remained.

Boys can do dishes?

It was a great week and so nice to have so many of our friends come and visit. We have had 3 more teams since this group, ISU, Purdue and Bluffton and I am in Tucson as I type this to pick up the Roanoke team in the morning. It may be a while but there will be more updates coming.

Until next time

God Bless
