WHEN HIS PEOPLE PRAY...

Felipe is back!! He arrived Monday night at 12:00am and is working hard today!!

David was very ill yesterday and ended up in bed with fever, chills, aches, etc. He woke up a new man this morning like nothing had ever happened!!

The generators are working efficiently even with the load that is required!!

Praise the Lord and thank you for praying.

Yesterday afternoon David took ill and had to return to the hotel for the afternoon and the evening. The men did an awesome job in his absense and knew exactly what to do. I opted to stay at the site in Davids absense and had a wonderul time with the Lord on the mountain and did a little construction clean-up. Walker and Tom went to town on the stair railing. The two were quite a team and got a lot done. Paul worked on plumbing and assisted Gary who is working on the electricity.

Maria cooked a wonderful American spagetthi lunch which I helped to prepare along with Cesi´s niece JoVanna and took it to the site. In the evening we went to Pardos Chicken a restaurant where they cook this very good chicken, then it was off to the hardward store for a few items before heading back to the hotel. Gary volunteered to go with Marco to the airport and get Felipe.

This morning everyone including David and Felipe headed back to Jicamarca after breakfast at the hotel. We brought a lunch to them, very good Peruvian chicken dish and brought a new fruit, Chire Moya, for everyone to try. It is a very good juicy sweet fruit.

I can´t say enough about this team of men. Each one has worked very hard, pitches in at a moments notice, gives expertise advise, is flexible and I have never heard a grumble. Well, except maybe there isn´t enought hot water. Yesterday when we arrived back at the hotel these grown men were running down the hallway of the hotel trying to outbeat the others to their room, claiming, "I´m in the shower first" so they would get the hot water before it ran out!!! Lots of work but lots of laughter and fun too.

Keep praying for our men and remember to include Marco as well. He works for David and Cesi Hodges and is with us night and day. We couldn´t do this without his help. He tranlates, drives, helps with construction and his knowledge of the local area, customs and people is so valuable to us.

Till tomorrow...
