The roofing crew has gotten all the trusses up now and the zink roof will be placed soon.
The old platform has been steadily pounded to bring it to the floor level. We took the baptistery out and will move the platform back against the wall to make more room. The church members want to do their baptisms outside in the ocean or nearby river.
The pew sanding and finishing crew have just about prepped every pew and they will soon be varnishing.
Vacation Bible School is going very well. Our numbers have dwindled a bit because of another local VBS that started Monday. The numbers are much more manageable which is great but we miss having the huge crowd that we once had. Sydney Larsen presented the program for VBS on Monday, with competition from the pouring rain on the metal roof of the school The Lord answered our prayers and we were able to play outside after the slide show. Kayla Henning presented the program Tuesday and did a wonderful job in spite of power problems that interupted her presentation.
Josh Pratt presented the adult effort on Monday and Lindsey Henning presented the adult effort on Tuesday.

One of the little boys from the village cut his foot on a rock. His name is Nervin and he is 7 years old. Dr. Fred Mathews and Roy Opsahl got him fixed right up with 3 stitches on his toe.
There is an outbreak of pink eye in the village and several children are struggling with it. We will be bringing medicine to the village to get control of the outbreak. Roy and Carole Opsahl have been giving care to the kids that have weepy eyes. What a blessing to have these folks on the trip. It is a wonderful blessing to be able to meet physical needs as well as spiritual ones.
The Lord just keeps blessing each and every one of us. We are all growing and learning and sharing on this trip. The Holy Spirit is making a difference here and we are thrilled to be a part of the Lords work. Thank you for your continued prayers.
