Great Progress

Tuesday. End of a long day. One team returned to Cave Mountain to complete the painting of the Salvation Army facility there. The fence team finished their installation of the chain link (to be followed tomorrow with the painstaking business of a gazillion wire ties). Yves, our electrical expert, provided service to the internet cafe, which is now functional, if not quite hospitable. The pump was suitably mounted on concrete and we are looking forward to running water any-time-now! Finally, the school team was able to introduce the students to tetherball, and were able to acquire a backboard and hoop to replace the one featured in a previous post.
While we're hoping that the resolution of these pictures doesn't altogether betray the somewhat sloppier personal
maintenance some of us have been entertaining, we do hope that the same photos demonstrate the wonderfully positive spirit of fun that pervades all of our interactions,
and (we hope) is also reflected in all the work we are doing. At the same time, we are continually surprised at the progress that is being made. At this rate, the Friday post will contain photos from the beach!

  4. Yes Gabriel, I'm afraid your daddy will have a beard when he gets home but let's just hope he does the right thing and returns what he obviously took from some proud American who is now walking the streets of New York shirtless.

    Also on the note of t-shirts; I think the true test of whether a man is completely and utterly confident in his masculinity is if he can wear a "Power Girls" hand-me-down shirt from his daughters and still smile. ;) :D

    And dear Stephen just as a heads up, your wife is sitting at home right now looking at your picture and thinking..."What is the shirt I gave Stephen for Christmas doing in Jamaica??!" But I mean honestly, when is image NOT important, right? Remind me, was that the day you were mixing cement? ;)

    You know I love y'all SOOOOOOOOOOO much!
