Day #9 - Saturday, September 1st

I love these kids. Missionary Mark Alston says he has the most beautiful neighborhood in the world, and I have a hard time disagreeing with him. Of course, he doesn't live in Beverly Hills, so as you can imagine, he's speaking about the people! The kids who lived across from the Alston's house are so full of life, and joy that you can't help but smile just to see them. This picture was taken just as we were about to leave for the job site on Saturday morning...our last full day of work!

As we arrived at the site, there was plenty of welding to be done. Also, we were told that there was to be another load of dirt delivered that we would get to move, and hopefully extend the seating or standing area of the church. We waited until mid-afternoon, but the dirt never came! Bill, having some experience with welding in the past, was able to assist in that area. The rest of us were feeling useless, so we went back to the hotel to be "on call" if the dirt came. The dirt never arrived, but it was no big deal. I loved the attitude of the team because they were willing to work if called upon, no questions asked. If we had nothing to do, that was cool with them, too. They were so flexible, and ready for whatever situation came their way.

For dinner, we went to a nice restaurant on the water, overlooking the island of Samar, and then a couple of the guys went to the job site to see if there was anything to be done. TOMORROW IS SUNDAY!!!

On kind of a different note, check out this video featuring Speed The Light at work in the Philippines. We needed to purchase a generator while we were there to get the job complete on time, and to assist future projects, as well, so good-old Doug Sayers (Penn-Del District Youth Director) came through and bought us one! Check out the video!
