The cement truck came again today -- this time to pour the rest of the first floor of the duplex.

Just 2 years ago this road was a foot path in the forest.
 |
January 2011 Ron exploring the property with our architect friend Mark Post who drew up the plans for the hostel and duplex.
|
Looking back from the duplex toward that road, you see the men carting cement by the wheelbarrel full from the cement truck up the ramp to the 1st floor of the duplex. This was the final load.

And did you ever wonder what it looked like below this level? Well, a forest of supports holding up the floor (or ceiling, as it is below)
 |
| It feels like a rainforest underneath the floor they're pouring -- water dripping between the boards amongst the support trees. |
On the way out, back to school, I saw Emmanuel. He used to work as our day guard at the house we now live in. But he is a mason who has helped build other structures in the missionary community. So we decided his talents were better put to use on the construction projects.

Take one last look from the door in the wall to RFIS. See the man in the red shirt? That's about where I was standing when I took the pics of the floor being poured... if that helps with perspective.

Praising God for progress so far. Praying it will be done and ready for us to move in before June 2013.
