Happy New Year

Things have been pretty slow here over the holidays. All the workers took off between Christmas and New Years Day, and a few extra days added on. I did enjoy the rest and went to a few feasts as well. The guys in Harlem invited me to a muslim feast called Tabaski. We just went from house to house and ate a lot of mutton. Which is like sheep or lamb or something. It was really good. Pictured here is the work of the electrician. If you can see the fine details, note how he broke open the wall to place orange tubing, which is the conduit for the wires. You can also see his patch job. In finishing stages all the walls will get covered with a layer of cement parging, leaving a smooth paintable surface. Work is moving again today, the masons have buit scaffolding and the walls are getting higher. I will try to get some updated photos posted soon.

Hi Matt- Happy New Year to you too!
When you left for Africa I prayed that things would go unexpectedly quickly- so neat to see God's answer! Thank you for all your hard work!
