[. for some reason, the former German resident of the factory considered it a grand idea to insulate the upper floor with tons of packed gravel... which... we are now removing; bucket load, by bucket load. Who ever thought of insulating with gravel anyways? It has become a sort of competition among the guys to see who can break up a certain amount of gravel in the least amount of time... then comes the task of bringing it down a level by way of buckets, and then dumping it out the window into our brilliantly crafted rubble shoot that takes it the final two levels to the ground outside .]

[. Today was another work day. We accomplished a whole lot of concrete removal, roof repair, sweating and... a walk around town in the evening. It was a bit slower on the pace than the first day, but it moved right along. The Lord has really knit the team together to work as one unit... everyone works so well together, without complaint or irritation, but with encouragment and lightheartedness .]
