We didn’t visit Sister Pauline today because we had some business to attend to in Tala before school. The afternoon was quite busy because the construction crew is getting ready to pour the slab for the first floor. It was pretty neat watching them get the planks ready – they cut a tree down from the property, trim the bark off it with a chain saw and then cut individual planks. They are pretty accurate with the cuts, but watching them actually making the planks is amazing! They plan on pouring the cement tomorrow and get it formed for the first floor. It’s going to be exciting to see it go up! Thanks to all of you for making this possible! God is working here in Tala and not only us, but everyone around can see it!
Then just before we were about to leave it started raining. And when it rains here you don’t do anything! So we sat in the office working on computers, talking and reading. There’s no rush around here to get anywhere or do anything! I want to go over to the dorms and see how they look now after a rain. Before we got the stone poured in the courtyard it got very muddy and messy for the borders, but now we have stone down so it will stay a little neater. Please keep the students, staff and workers in your prayers for safety and good studies (although I don’t think that is good grammer!)

Here’s a picture of the dorm area with the new stone after the rain. The teachers who stay here loved it because it wasn’t messy with mud and the kids weren’t slipping around. So we’ve started putting stone in the school yard area too so that will be less muddy during the rains.
