We had another wonderful day.  It began with another awesome time of worship led by Bill Lee.  We had no power but that did not prevent them from using the guitars to lead us to the throne in musical praise.  Pastor Doug Chappelle then brought a challenging word from the Word.  I so appreciate Pastor Doug.

We built houses all day.  I think that 13 are now up with 10 of those having received the concrete.  Three more are almost ready for the concrete.  Soy, Callie, & Austin finished a few houses but I do not know the exact number.

As 5:00PM rolled around the rain began to come heavily.  We got drenched!  I mean drenched!  My cell phone was a victim of drowning in that storm as it no longer works.  I got back to the mission house and decided to jump online to post this entry to find that my laptop has died too.  (Unless Dr. Doug can fix it but he does not give me much hope!)  O well, God knows!

The good news is that we did get the electricity back on this morning.  The hot shower after being soaked was a blessing.  Supper was great and the fellowship even better!

Thanks for checking on us.  Keep praying!

P.S. – I am using Soy’s laptop to post this entry but he does not know it.

It is almost 10:30PM as I type this entry in the dark.  We lost electricity somewhere around 5:00PM or and it is still out on the mountain.  The valley has electricity.  We are told that it could be tomorrow before we get it restored but we are hoping for tonight at some point mainly due to the fact that we need to charge batteries.

The team has handled this “bump in the road” with a great attitude.  Dr. Tico graciously allowed us to come to the seminary to get showers.  Caroline & Deidra had a great supper ready for us so we enjoyed a candlelight/flashlight meal – very romantic!  (I sat by Soy!)

Our day went well.  We got 8 houses up with four of those receiving concrete.  We have a lot of first timers on this team and they did great!

Of course, our day got off to a great start as Bill Lee, BJ Parson, Callie Chappelle, and Michael Taylor did a great job of leading us in musical worship.  Awesome stuff!  The preaching was weak but the musical worship more than compensated for it!

Everyone was in bed early last night and the same holds true tonight because there is basically nothing else to do.  Thanks for checking on us and keep praying that we will be obedient to God!

Clint, BJ says “hey!”
