Monday – February 18, 2013 (9 p.m.)
Rain. The rain
that moved in on Sunday continued throughout the morning. While the rain certainly changed a few of the
plans for the day it was greatly welcomed by the people of Deymon. By the end of the day much had been accomplished. This was a great reminder of God’s grace and
power and our need to not focus on our own plans, but trust that our God is in
control.
The rain did not stop people from coming to the clinic
and the sewing class that were both held today.
The medical team or Ruth, Shari and Gail saw a steady stream of patients
throughout the morning and into the afternoon.
Liane’s sewing class worked on market bags. While the rain did impact some of the
construction projects much was accomplished.
Steve continued his welding work on the pharmacy door and Joe began
work on the railings for the stairs at the school. Rusty, Reuben and Mark B. spent time cutting
and routing the wood pieces for new desks in the school. Heather and her crew of Stacey and Charlie
stained the wood for the desks and painted the pharmacy. Bob worked on repairing the roof of the shop
got started on the roof on the school addition.
Butch (Thomas) and Tim prepared the floors for concrete pouring and were
joined in the afternoon by Amanda and Thomas H. in creating forms and mixing
concrete for the railing support pillars at the top of the stairs. Lynn stained
and he and Jeff spent a good portion of the day cleaning out and beginning to
organize the shop. Becky assisted with
tasks at the house working to make sure that many details were taken care
of. Allie was busy throughout the day,
and also got to try out the router and sanded the wood pieces for the school
desks with the help from and very energetic group of local boys. Mark M continued to provide great leadership
for the activities and seemed to be involved in nearly everything that was
going on throughout the day! It was hard for him to be everywhere at once, but
he found a great way to get around!
