Here is just another very brief update on the happenings at GRACE Home. Three of the buildings are ready for roofing and the fourth one will be ready by tomorrow. I was in one of the houses looking out the "window" and thought about how peaceful the view is. So, I included it in this writing. They have started preparing the dining room for the concrete slab and will start this tomorrow also. Santino said he expects it to be up in two weeks.
This week Justus and I hired four security guards and they will start training on Monday. Our guards will train them here for one week then go to the site and stay with them for one week to get them settled in. They will guard the site during the night and clear the compound during the day. With them on site the contractor will be able to keep supplies there without fear of theft.
Next week we will meet with someone to discuss solar power since there are no power lines out there yet. Then comes the latrines, director's house, office, and other necessities.
Thanks so much for all your prayers. It is comforting to know you are holding us up. I hope to see you all very soon when we return to the US.
God's GRACE, joy, and peace,
Libby
