No Power Failures...

It's hard to believe that it's been over a week since we've had a power failure.  ¡Increíble!  And, although I'm not superstitious, I'm sure that the fact that I've just put it out there means we will have a power failure.  Soon.   At least if we do, the team visiting us from Michigan will get a little bit more of the "missions experience".

We have a group of 12 people from the Detroit, MI area with us right now.  They've been here for about a week and a half and have a few more days to go.  They've been giving special classes in the school (martial arts and crocheting), leading the Chapel services at school, helping with work projects around the property, and have visited the local hospital and an orphanage.

Today they are in Ajuterique, building a new kitchen for the school there.  Money was very generously donated by some new friends of the ministry, to build a new outdoor kitchen, where the lunch for the school kids is cooked.  The objective of the Michigan team is to build the kitchen.  Today.  With guidance from several of our guys, Trify is confident that at the end of the day, the kitchen should be finished, or almost finished.

Here are a few pics of what the kitchen looks like now...

 What I apparently did not get pictures of is the roof over the kitchen.  It's made of wooden posts, courtesy of nearby trees, and plastic -- some of it tarps and some of it trash bags.  Much of it full of holes.

Hopefully the team will bring back a few "after" pics so I can post those, as well.  Otherwise, I'll be able to get some in September when we are out there for Día del Niño (Day of the Child).  It would be cool to be out there today and be able to say, "Move that bus", or something like it.
