Tree Trimming

     The branches of our trees were sagging over our neighbor's houses.  They wanted them cut down because they were worried that the branches would fall onto their houses.
      We had other branches that were on the power line too. 

     With machetes, ropes, and a ladder the work was accomplished.

Richelet's Birthday

    Richelet is a first year student in our Bible School.

    We wanted to do something for Richelet on his birthday.  The class celebrated by singing and having refreshments.

   These are 1st year students.

Another Accident at Our Carrefour Compound

   I was disappointed to come home to a portion of our wall destroyed.  The owner of the vehicle was leaving the bank across the street when he plowed through our wall.  We have his name, telephone number, and license plate number but he won't take care of the damages.  Please pray that he would make this right.

Progress on Minal's House

    The work is coming along.  Little by little we can get done.

Progress on Minal's House

     The boys have been busy helping their fellow brother.  Minal has wanted to work on his house but hasn't had the opportunity to do so.  This week we all chipped in an lent him a hand to advance the building of his house. Five courses of block have been laid and now we are pouring a reinforced concrete bond beam.  We will then continue to lay the remainder of the block.

     The boys are mixing the concrete on the ground for the bond beam.  The younger boy and Minal's girlfriend are carrying buckets of water for the concrete.

Sisters Cathy Brubaker, Francis Stettler, and Julie Witmer

    While Reuben Brubaker and Aaron Witmer were working on projects Julie Witmer had the meals to prepare.  There were at least 12 persons to feed every meal. 

    Sister Francis Stettler came to work in the Bible School.  She worked an entire week in the Bible School, including Saturday.  Sister Cathy Brubaker interpreted for Francis.  The students felt they received more in one week than what they normally receive in a semester.
