Many Directions at Once

When you're working with limited supplies, unpredictable weather, and unforeseen emergencies that divert you from your established plan, you will find yourself going in many directions at the same time. But sometimes that's the only way to get things done!

With that in mind, this post will be a collection of photos of the many different things that we are currently involved in here in Mozambique.

Wood turning instruction
Checking off the electrical supplies
Attending a local bush church
Lifting heavy beams into place
Donating a laptop computer to Aaron Beecher, director of Tariro training school
Enjoying a Sunday afternoon braai with friends and colleagues
Putting the finishing touches on the trusses
Digging ditches for electrical cable
Bending steel beams with heat (Dennis, your trick worked perfectly!)
Welding the beams together
Forging a new chisel for concrete work
Putting wheels on the scaffolding
Painting the beams before they go up
Plastering the repair pit
Singing worship songs with Wilhelm and Kelvin, two friends from Zimbabwe
Watching Pastor Mariano jump rope with the kids

So our days (and evenings) are pretty full. But we're enjoying our time here, and thankful to be able to put our skills to use in a practical and beneficial way. Thanks to all of you who are standing with us with your support and your prayers. It really means a lot!

Cheers from the MTM team - Bob, Bob, Don, and Rick
