We are Buildling

It’s been a busy couple of days. We went to church on Sunday morning. A traditional Pentecostal service. The praying and singing was amazing. After the service our EMR’s bandaged some cuts and we send one little girl to the hospital (paying for the visit and antibiotics). We then took a drive and went to visit Sophie’s mom in another village.
The last two days we have gone hog wild on the building. We have about 5 feet up already. We wake up at 5 or 5:30 when the Muslims call for prayer on a mega phone. We have breakfast and off to the site by 7:00. The last 2 days we have worked until about 4 then the RAIN comes. Since we don’t have any water the torrential down pour has become our outdoor shower. No joke. We all take our soap out on the deck and shower.
The medical need here is so great. A lady came up to Ja today and wanted us to look at her baby. The child had a laceration on her foot, and it was infected. One of our team took them to the hospital, and it turns out that worms had entered the wound and now she was sick. We have seen this over and over.
Please pray for us as we continue to work. It is about 40 degrees every day, and so far not one has gotten sick. We each have met people and seen needs in different places. Please pray that the Lord would continue to bring these needs forth and that we would be able to provide. With the long work days, no power or water, we are all surprisingly still in high spirits. Please pray that we would continue to get along and that God will be glorified in all we do.
PS. We love you girls. Sorry we have not been able to call, hopefully soon. Love Mom and Dad!!!!
