So many things done!

I dropped the guys off at the airport last night. While looking back over the past three weeks and I'm so impressed with how much stuff Dad and the brothers accomplished. They made it so the generator will run the fridge. They fixed the bathroom door.  We now have a back up water tank that collects rain water from the roof. They improved the water pressure from the city by cleaning out all the pipes. We now have a chicken coop (that is hopefully “monitor lizard proof”). And that is just at my house. At team members home's they fixed many plumbing problems, installed a sink, tried to fix a ceiling fan, hung a door,  fenced in a deep pit, ran internet cables (across the road to the resource room- which was really a big project as they had to set the pole first), ran power to a place that we can show movies to the neighbors, did maintenance on at least three vehicles and fixed several problems on them. They completely reworked the chair that Lazaro sits on so that it is repaired and now adjusts so that he can lay back or sit up straighter. They fixed at least 5 different bikes. They made benches with the kids at the street kids home. They fixed a pipe at the blind home. I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch of other little projects that they did but you can see the variety. Pretty cool. THANKS GUYS!!! You are welcome to come back anytime even if you don't work so hard. I'm so glad you got to join life with me here for a while even if it was for a short time.

Wow! A lot was accomplished. What a privilege to have your dad and brothers stay with you. I'm sure a lot of memories were made.
