Half way-ish

wow. We're already half way through the trip. It has gone by fast, but the houses are showing progress. Most of the houses have a lot of help from friends and family. I guess the coolest site for us is site 5 because it is just our team and the foreman (who is Thai). Site 5 is being built for a widow who married a local guy. But since she was not originally from the island, it seems that nobody on the island is willing to help her. So everyday it's just us doing all the work. And so we've made that site priority #1 because after we leave, it may take a long time for it to be finished (if we don't finish it).

I have not yet said anything about how we are doing spiritually. I must say this is a really cool team to work with. Everyone is humble. Nobody is bossy and trying to run the show. Everyone has a servant attitude and is willing to work wherever and doing whatever. We have team meetings every morning and evening where we pray and sing together. It is cool to be part of such a spiritually mature team. We really enjoy each other's company and even though our ages span some 40 years, we all get along just fine.
