It has been a long long time since i have done so much physical work as i did today---the youth worked incredibly hard!!
i think it will be a very long time before any of the youth want to hold a shovel or dig a hole! Again they worked to build the foundation for the gym/multipurpose building. It was hard physical work but no complaints were heard.
We started the day with pancakes, eggs and fresh fruit--yummy :)
Then we headed to La Finca around 8:30 and worked till 4:30.......
Thomas and Paul tied rebarb for two days--they made 6 on day 5 and 13 on day 6!!! they worked nonstop for two days--i am so proud of them.
Reid, Brooks and Nelson dug out a second trench and Jeremiah jumped in and helped today.
Brooke painted....and the rest of the team dug out the dirt hill and then after lunch today we dug another trench for a drainage pipe.
I saw kids swinging axes, picks, shovel, and haul dirt in wheelbarrows(not the kind you have at your house).....you cannot imagine how hard they worked or how proud i am of them :)
Tomorrow ....home.......we leave a part of ourselved here in Costa Rica. I pray that God will allow us another trip to see the continued progress on the building. I pray that God will let the youth see the purpose for their hard work.
I pray the God will bless the Louderbacks and their mission here and in Panama.
It is such a joy to see them so happy and so close in their walk with the Lord..... but my heart is heavy tonight as we say goodbye to them....until the next visit :)
Pray for us as we fly out at 1:11 (Costa time) tomorrow. orlando at 6:30---then a 4 hour bus ride home:)
