    Well that was fun while it lasted, just finished up a fourteen day straight work week.  We literaly dropped off our Buena Vista team at the airport, and then ran down stairs to greet the next team that arrived on the plane that the other team was leaving on.  This team was also a multitask team, not as big as the previous team but it did have constuction ministry team, which obviously is where I jump right in.  I was not with the team as they traveled to the two diferent schools, but I do know their work for the Lord was not in vain as they seen twenty-six professions of faith.  Very happy to have met them and greatful for their hearts and service to the Lord.  The majority of my week was spent working with some very awesome men,  there was a mix in age there was a group of older guys and also some collage age guys.  I really was greatfull for the wisdom that the older men shared with me, and I was extremly greatful for the strong backs of the young men.  The first day was a bit rough the plan for the week was to get the roof system on the Sunday school rooms on one of the Ignite churches in a village close by, and also get the concrete floor poured in both rooms.  So we get there and first thing there was already oposition, the power was out in the whole village due to a tree taking out the power line and the roof system was all metal trusses that had to be designed, cut and welded.  No power made this impossible, so we started to paint the metal with corrosive resistant paint and fired up the concrete mixer and began to pour the floor. The next day power was restored and we began the work on the metal.  We flew through it as if the Holy Spirit was guiding our every move.  We finished the original project and was able to as a porch to the front of the school rooms. With a day to spare I loaded up the young men and went and roofed a house in a very remote village.
