I'm dirty, sweaty and hot - and it's splendid!

I don't think I've ever been dirtier, sweatier or hotter at the same time. So today was splendid! All this work by so many people for such a wonderful purpose - I am so thankful to be a part of this mission team. Two people I met in Mozambique in June 2009. All the others are so very kind and friendly. Getting acquainted with your church was one of those "God coincidences" for me. As always, it has been a marvelous experience.

We poured a lot of concrete today - into foundation footings, onto flat new floors and out of pointed tubes into tall columns. Windows were painted, tile was grouted and bricks were mortared. Our Brazilian coworkers are dynamos of energy. It's impressive and humbling.

The people of Annandale UMC should be very proud of all on this team. And, again, I thank you for the opportunity to share in this loving service to the people of Brasil.
