Who's on First and What's on Second...

With all due respect to the old Abbott and Costello routine by the same name (seen at this link), sometimes there are so many needs, that it's difficult to know which job needs to be done first. Here are the ASAM farm in Mozambique, the Mercy Tech Mission team is elbow deep in a number of endeavors. Here is just a sample...
Rick, Ron Wayner, and Andy Kuret testing out Rick's first house wiring job on the Mercy Air house

Moving one of Bob's trusses...it takes 14 guys. That's one heavy truss.

Rick fixing a motorcycle tire for the local constabulary...

Bob and Andy visit the cattle pens across the river

Izzy needs more repairs...again

...who's playing hooky with Magnum down by the river (not really)
In the end, there are more jobs to do than there is time in a day...the trick is in discerning priorities, and remembering that it is all about people first. God is doing some amazing things in the lives of the Mozambican people, and it's a privilege for us to be a part of it.

That's all for now, so have a great weekend...and don't forget Who's on First.
