Thursday was a full day! Randle had to take Pastor Gerald to the airport this morning, and then he and I went to the chapel service, while the rest of the team was keeping busy at the job site. I love being at Zion; the students there have such a passion for God! It is so hard to imagine that these young men and women of God start at age 16, and by age 19 they are ready to plant churches. I don't remember many specifics about when I was 19, but I KNOW I wasn't ready to plant a church! Anyway, I had the priviledge of speaking at Zion Bible College (see figure 1), and then we went to the site to join the team.
Today was pour-concrete-on-the-floor day. We didn't actually get to pour the concrete, but we did get to carry rediculously heavy bags of sand and rocks for them to be able to mix the concrete. Bill and I raced (see figure 2) while carrying a bag of sand on our shoulders. I won the race, but in all fairness, Bill had carried MANY more bags of sand and rocks that day. Even still, I was cleaning sand out of my ears after my shower that evening for a long time!
Thursday was also SAM BERTOCCHI'S 18TH BIRTHDAY!!! We celebrated by having a nice dinner at a restaurant in the country. The atmosphere at the restaurant was beautiful, the food was amazing, and it only cost about $5 of US currency! I believe that Sam had a good birthday! (See figure 3.)
