We're starting off on our 3rd day of work here at Refuge Ranch. Some of the jobs that need to be done require some dry sunny days before hand, and that's just not happening! It's rained each night, but the days have been dry and that's a blessing! The building needs to dry out completely to do some more sealing, and painting though. Dale is still working on that same rock at the corner of the building - a good exercise in patience for him and all of the guys. Moving the rocks God put in place isn't an easy task!

The first coat of paint was completed on the front of the building yesterday and it looks great. The second coat should come today. The group went out last night to the restaurant across from the hotel for banana splits and did they ever taste good. Mike thought it was the best thing he's had down here yet! Denny finally got the toilet seat fixed in his hotel room (thank you Becky!). Everyone is staying well so far except I'm fighting a head cold. I think that's preferable to the problems the first team had though, and Dale and Lucy both have given me Claritin to use and that's helping.

We passed the gifts out to the adults last night and that's always such a fun time. They appreciate everything so much and it's a reminder of how much we take for granted in our lives in the United States. We really should express our thanks to God so much more than we do.

I'll load more pictures so you can keep up with what's going on down here. Thanks to all those that follow this blog, and for all of your prayers for the team. We're having a great time and appreciate all of your support so much!
