We were extremely blessed to have a team from East Side Baptist in North Carolina come help with our house. Tyler and Amanda Zimmerman (Erin's best friend) contacted us when plans for their other mission trip weren't working out. Thank God they were able to come here! We got an enormous amount of work done in a week.
The house is now lockable! Exterior doors are installed, windows are in, the upstairs flooring is nearly finished being prepped for paint, the upstairs exterior is painted, septic lines are connected to the tank and our bathroom upstairs is well on its way. It was awesome to see this team work hard and be excited about what we are doing there.
There is still a lot to be done with only a little over two weeks to do it. Next week I'll have help from another missionary to begin installing our solar equipment. The house needs to be sealed up. There are still six inch gaps between the wall and our roof that need to be covered. Bathrooms need to be finished. Interior walls need to be put up upstairs. The back porch and roof need to be done, as well as the front porch roof. There's also lots of painting and siliconing to be done all over. Exterior window bars will be installed for security.
All of that won't get done before we move in but you can see that we'll be busy for awhile yet. Please keep praying for us as we finish up our home all the while strengthening relationships with those around us here.
