Bright Hope Reunion

Howdy,

Today we spent the morning at Bright Hope School.  We got the grand tour and update of the progress on all the projects.  It was a very encouraging time.  When we walked up to the new chicken houses, I saw one  of the workers, Yallo, whom we worked with on the last trip.  I went up to shake his hand and he by passed the handshake and gave me a great big hug.  Friends don't shake hands the hug.  It was the same with my greetings with Tefera, and Musgabo, both men whom we developed a good relationship with last trip.  I was able to get some good pictures of the progress on the wall, and of the chicken houses, as well as the completed section of wall which we started last fall.  They have finished the base layer on back side of the property.  For those of you who have been here that would be the hill out behind the outhouses.  We will be working on the remainder of the footings across the back section of the property over the next two weeks.  They are working on the second/third chicken house.  Some prayer requests that they have are that the cost of cement has doubled and is getting pretty hard to purchase, so we could be praying for stability in the markets especially the construction industry.  God has definitly been at work in this project.  Today I saw some of the fruits of our labor in the on the heavenly side.  Musgabo thanked us for all the work we have done and he said that he could tell that we were true Christians, that we would come to help them because God loves them and He loves us.  It was very neat to see.
