Off to a slow start and not as efficient as we would like, but we did make some progress.  Building the forms for the arched entrance to the porch took way too long.  Harry and I are very frustrated at times at the lack of planning and job assignments.  Too often workers are sitting because other workers didn’t think ahead and prepare the next task.  I’m trying to remember we are here to help and serve, but we also want to teach them.  Harry is really wanting to move faster, we are praying for more patience for him.  We all know he means well, but we are not going to change their way of doing things in one short month.

Dennis continues to see patients, about 25 or so today.  He is seeing the same things; fever, cough, congestion, back pain, and worms.  Most are children.  He believes that their lack of a solid immune system is the root cause.  They do not have a balanced diet; much of is is carbohydrates with little vegetables or protein.  Much of this is due to eating what they have always eaten and not trying to eat things with good nutrients.

We are planning our wrap up coming on Friday.  We want to get back to the orphanage to say goodbye and have a final dinner with Wycliffe, Pastor Abdul and the others.  We were hoping to have the roof on, but it is not looking promising at this point.
