Views in South Caicos


 A most beautiful sunset.


   Wild horses.  Note the roof on the mission van.  The salt has done much deterioration to the van.

  We returned to Providenciales by plane.

Accommodations at South Caicos


  We had this  comfortable home in which to stay.

  This is Missionary Marilyn Marchant.  She is preparing a seafood meal for us.  We had lobster, conk, flounder, rice, green beans, corn, lobster cooked island style, and mashed potatoes.

Odd Jobs at South Caicos Church


 There was wiring to be finished.

  There were doors to be hung.

  A door to the side entrance was replaced.  The wood was all eaten by termites.

Working on the Ceiling of the South Caicos Church


On Saturday several men came from North Caicos to lend a hand.  We worked at putting up the ceiling.
 


  This is the group of men that worked together on Saturday.  We are so grateful for their help.

Helping at the South Caicos Church

 The boat ride to the island.  We flew into Providenciales and went by boat to South Caicos.  The boat was quite loaded with supplies.


The dock at South Caicos.


  Our first project was finishing the roof on the addition to the church.  Shawn Adams and Ephraim Cruz are on the roof and Jim Olsen and I are cutting the roofing and working on the ground.

 The sun was very hot and reflected off of the roofing but we were able to complete the job.

  Our second project was to finish the roof on the entry way to the church.


   The roof is now completed.
