And so it begins...

We have our new contract with our dona (or owner) for two years, so the work on expanding the chapel and painting our interior rooms began this weekend.  As with all remodels, I hate the mess already.  So many unknown workers on the property all day long.  So I am praying not to be stressed by it all, even though parts of it are driving me crazy.  On Saturday, my husband took the workers to buy all of the supplies for the project.  Ha!  We have made one or two trips each day for more of the same.  It will be great in the end, since we have 106 at church last week and really need the enlarged space.

Edma and Aissa wanted to earn some money, so we taught them how to paint.
It was harder than they thought, but they are ready for another room.  We
had them practice on the Primary last Saturday.

Part of the crew.  The man in black is the head of the project.  I asked Amezide
how old he was.  He said "ancient" about 50.  I laughed and said, well am I
ancient then, not merely old.  He gracefully avoided answering me.

The is the new wall going up.  We will create another side walk or path
through the grass to get to the out buildings and the bathroom.  Everything is
done slowly by hand.

There was the problem of the electrical pole...

It was taken out and wires  moved, but what to do with it now?
