I want to start by apologizing for the delay on the updates.  Internet has been even trickier this year than last.  I have made attempts but, nothing has worked out until today.  That being said, everything is going very well. The kids have been absolutely fantastic.  This years work has been very trying and difficult but so far they have handled everything with great attitudes and energy.  The girls were able to knock out a huge portion of the work on the front yard the first day but, "the jungle" as they call it is the back yard.  They have spent yesterday and today working on the back.  The boys have been able to pour half of the basketball court by today and will finish three fourths of it by the end of today.  

We would really appreciate your prayers as the exhaustion begins to set in.  The boys are worn out from hauling gravel, sand, and cement all day. While, the girls have been raking and weed eating and clearing things with machetes.  Yes, I did say with machetes and we are being very careful.  We have two more full days of work ahead of us and as expected bedtime comes early and that is not by requirement but choice.  We look forward to seeing you all when we get back and are excited to tell you all about it.  Hope all is well back at home.
