Pictures of my mission

HEre are a few pics from my trip...I didn't get nearl enough on there so I will try to do some more later!

A few team member built this wall on our first day--we had it completely finished and painted by the time friday came around!




This was my "bubble"...I bought a mosquito net tent..what a great investment!




This is a good picture of our work site.....but not only that of neil and Patty they were so cute in thsi picture..but such a joy to be with all week..Neil and I struggled together at every meal!



Cement mixing



The local stream to take showers and wash laundry




The showers



As groups we were assigned "home visits" ..the pastor in the village sent us to various homes so we could get a close up of their life and learn about indivisual people and discuss God with them ..if it came up....this was the home of the Grandma Mabel and Dodd...they were in their 80's loved the lord and very happy to see us! She took on a tour around her house and there were loose boards ..none of the appliances worked and she had various buckets and old bottles to catch rain water...she lived up the mountain side--and she said on sunday mornings..she has to start walking down the hill at 5 in the morning so the pastor can pick up her up where the road starts so she can go to church..that is amazing to me! Such dedication..we are tryingto find a church in our town --so we don't have to drive 20 minutes away--how horrible are we?




Where they performed for the health fair

The health fair was less than sterile conditions..I can't even imagine recieving healthcare in that place..it was dirty, no running water for sterility..they don't give pain meds.....it is really a site to see..compared to our healthcare industry!



Health fair




They bury their dead in their yards




After my hair was done...I was holding this sweet baby for his mom.




Worship Service on Tuesday night!





Our whole group at the welcome sign for our village.


The little kids--singing about Jesus!




Lizards are all over everything there--it is an infestation!




The guys after they fixed my hair.




ME and Tish after a hard day at the worksite!
