Internet Access Is Down

Just wanted to let everyone know that our Internet access is down for the next couple of days. The school is upgrading their computer room, so we are access the Internet from an Internet Cafe' that is just a street away. Unfortunately, we cannot upload photos to the blog until either the computer room is up and running (which is supposed to be on Friday) or until we reach Antigua on Sabbath afternoon.

The roof is completely done on the Temple school, and we were able to add a porch/awning to the front of the building. The roof was completed on Wednesday afternoon, and the bulk of the awning was completed as well. Today, two small teams returned to the construction site and complete the odds and ends of the soffit, anchoring down the awning, and installing the gutters.

VBS is still working hard and have had a great program. The kids are so much fun. One more day to go for the VBS team. If they get out early, we may go on an adventure in the afternoon, but we're playing it by ear.

Paul was busy today passing out glasses. Tomorrow is his last day as well. I'll provide a numbers update when I can.

The kitchen crew have been stuffing us with some great food. Many of us have been going up for thirds and fourths! So much for losing weight on this trip! Better luck next year, I'm guessing. :)

What else? A few of us went on an excursion to Roseau (which is only 28.5 miles away; but because of the roads, it takes an hour to get there). It was a great day for it. Bill and Phill tried on a couple of dresses. Yes, you read correctly....they tried on a couple of dresses. Just wait until we post the pictures! :)

I guess that's about it. We'll post more when we can. It may not be until Sabbath afternoon though. We miss you all and look forward to returning home; however, we request that all snow storms occur before we return. :)

May Jesus bless you and yours abundantly.
