Day Four of Fun in the Sun on the Jobsite

We had our day of rest on Sunday and were raring to go for our last full day of work. Our small group was joined by a rambunctious bunch of high schoolers from Florida. Our intern for the day was Nicole , a young lady from Pennsylvania who helped us organize for the day so that we could finish a few of the projects that we had started. The septic hole was finally proclaimed finished at 7'4" deep and 40" by Wilbur our construction supervisor which was good news for Jack who was the "Master of the hole in the Ground". There was a little more concrete work and trench digging to get ready for connecting the plumbing for the new bathroom that we worked on. We also started demo on the existing house to prepare for the connection to the new addition, which helped us visualize how the project would evolve. We all decided that today was the warmest and sunniest day of the week with copious amounts of water consumed, and as always delicious beans and rice at every meal. At the end of the work day we had a prayer request for a classmate of the homeowners daughter, Sharon. The eight year old named Estevan has been critically ill with meningitis. We gathered with all the workers at our site and were joined by Charlie, the founder of Strong Missions to say a prayer for him. Please keep this young man in your prayers too. In closing, we had a lot of fun reflecting about the week in the evening, where we had a lot of laughs retelling the stories that have brought our small group so close together.
