These are some pictures of the things we did the last few days. We started digging the first children's home foundation on Wednesday. This picture is of us digging the footings. The soil was very hard and very dry. Luckily we have a laser level, otherwise it would be very hard to know if we were digging too shallow or deep.










This is a picture of us unwinding after a long day's work. This board game is called Ticket to Ride, one of our new
favorite games. You can see Amber in the picture. She is Louis's wife. She has made our trip an awesome experience. She makes us lunch and supper while doing any laundry we need. Without her, it would not be the same. She has been a huge blessing to our team.







This is another picture of the first children's home foundation. As you can see, progress is slow and work is hard. You will see some pictures of the finished product on a later post.













After we were done with the first foundation, we burnt the empty bags of cement powder. Unfortunately, Micah's shirt was hidden underneath the pile of bags. He will try to tell you it caught fire because he was working so fast, but that wasn't the case. You can see Kendrick in the background. He is a local boy who volunteers his time working for Louis and Brian.








This is another picture of us relaxing at night. We are playing a board game with Brilliant and DJ. We have learned a lot about the local culture from these two great guys. The bond we have created with them will be on of our best experiences from this trip.
