Hello, and good morning! It is 7:30am here (12:30am at home) and I am at the Hotel Masindi attempting to upload another video for Chardon United Methodist Church. I kind of enjoy being the "upload boy" because it allows me to blog a little bit. We were able to find some fairly quick internet here at the hotel, but it is a little pricy... 10,000 shillings for 6 hours (roughly $0.75/hour! I will take that price anytime!)
The team is doing well. Yesterday we learned how to make bead necklaces out of paper. It is a very beautiful art form and I am sure Christina and Chuck are going to bring that back into their classrooms. The apron that we have been building is moving along. The gentlemen that have previously went to Rock Foundation or have been sponsered by someone back home have been coming to help us. They are amazing workers and are very helpful because they are teaching us their trade. The bricks are laid, the hardcore is broke up and we have started laying the concrete on top of the step. We hope to get that one dome today and possibly start on the next one tomorrow.
Tonight (Thursday) we are going out to the new land where Rock Foundation bought 100 acres outside of town to be able to construct a secondary and trade school. We are going there to bless the land, walk it and make a presense so all the squaters will know that crazy white people will be building something there soon!
