Week 4

This week Monday- Tuesday most of use here on the 

island were holed up in our homes waiting to see what 

the storm would do.

But not our workers, they were at En Gedi working!

I got a text early Monday morning from our contractor

asking me what they should do. I told him " do what he

thought was best."  Wednesday when I arrived at

En Gedi I was amazed at all that had been done.

When I talked to Adrian, that morning, telling him 

how impressed I was on all that had gotten done. I had

no expectations of them going into work on the days

almost everyone else was at home waiting to see what 

the storm would do. His response "I learned something

from Mr. Chad (Chad Huber was a missionary here with 

his family about 5 years ago). One day it was raining 

and I didn't come into work for him. He called me and

asked me where I was, and why was I not at work. 

When I told him I didn't come in because it was raining,

he told me this: "If you have work, you come to work. If the 

boss then sends you home thats fine. But you always come

to work." I never forgot that, and ever since, unless I hear

different I come to work!"

(Chad was CLEARLY a much better 'boss' then I!)

 The chain link fence posts were set, and now we 

are just waiting until the hardware store gets the

chain link that we are going to put by the part of our

property that takes run off from the road.

 The septic pit has been dung 

(by hand)

 The front gate posts have been poured

 

The font wall was expanded

 

The side wall was built up

 

It has rained most of the week here, making the

grounds at the house VERY muddy. I spent about 15

min. trying to get out of the gate Friday morning (after

arriving at the house to unlock it for the workers) so 

I could take Neiah to school. I kept getting stuck

and simply spinning my wheels.
Thankfully the workers showed up, and was able

to stratigically drive my car up in a way that I got 

it back on the road.

 

This little guy continues to do good and grow

daily. We are still working at sleeping at night

instead of all day. But he is a joy, and we continue

to love this time with him.
