We started the build today. The foundation and frame were already done. I worked at weaving and it is fun, but tiring. My crew is wonderful with lots of experience so we really made good progress. The country side is very green. The temp is very hot and humid. The people dress in such bright, beautiful clothing. It is very interesting to see their daily life. The family we are building for has a grandmother, middle aged couple, sister, 3 sons and a daughter. They are helping out and thrilled. The daughter goes to school and speaks some English. It is a very powerful thing to experience their excitement and appreciation. I am trying to send photos and videos. Hopefully soon. I will build a medicine wheel and pray for all of you tomorrow (Mon)
