Work Day 6




Our last day was another busy one. The Formica was put on the PC cabinets. Also the last cabinet was put together. The driver had some holes filled in with concrete. More painting was done to the inside and outside of the buildings.
We again thank you for your prayers . All the thing that were accomplished could not have been possible with the help of our prayer worriers and the Holy Spirit.
The team will leave the school at 6:30 and arrive in Chicago around 4:55.
Pray for a problem free departure and a safe return.

Work Day 5







Work day 5 we made some concrete to finish off what wasn't finished yesterday. Concrete blocks were moved from a pile and placed around the foundation. The blocks will be placed two high all the way around. The floor for the building has the double rebar, a layer of concrete that covered the rebar. Then there will be a layer of gravel, which will have the electrical and plumbing. On top of the gravel will be another layer of concrete. There was more painting and PC cabinet building.
Tonight we will visit downtown San Jose and go out to dinner.
One more day of work and back home to cold Illinois. Today is warm 84 degrees.

Work Day 3

Today was another productive day. More painting outside and inside. Even the flag pole got painted. More PC cabinets were made. A concrete ramp was completed. I think it took 40 wheel barrels to finish. Somebody figured out that 15,000 tie wraps were used for the rebar construction. Racking of leaves was a big project. The picture is of Matt Befus, Natalia the younest and Matt's mother Elenora. Our 2nd and last day off will be a trip to the ocean in Jaco. Lisa Befus should be arriving around 10pm tonight from Wheaton. Everything else seems to be doing fine. Wally<><

Work Day 2



We had another beautiful day today and accomplished more painting, more cabinet building, more plumbing, more rebar construction, picture murals and side jobs. The rebar work is almost finished. There will be 7 cement truck at the school on Thursday morning. The painting is endless and there will always be something to paint. Our night out for dinner will be at the world famous "Chicken-Lick'n" down the street. Chicken cooked over coffee root wood. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm so good.
Everyone is healthy and we covet your prayer. Our morning devotion from 6:300 to 7:00is what gives us a great kick off to start out the morning seeking the Lord first. Our evening devotions are from 8:00 to 8:30. We are a little tired, but we hve some really good discussions and then eventually go to bed.
We finally got our leader to do some work. Harry did not paint the picture of Jesus. Thanks Harry.

Day Off



In the past we have tried to go there for a visit and it rained. Today was a crystal clear day. On the way back we stopped at a waterfall-butterfly park. The park has buildings with birds, snake, frogs, plants, and a waterfall. While walking around the park it make you think about God's creation of this world. All of this did not happen by chance. We ended the day at the International Baptist Church where the Befus family goes to, which finished off this beautiful day.

Back to work on Monday praying that a lot of work gets accomplished.
