Back to work!

From Mark:
I am tired tonight! After a restful day yesterday we worked fairly well today. The day started out with Dave and I helping get steel for Tim Erdman and Kay Callahan to work over a trailer that we need to haul the steel roofing and siding to the ex-ray building. Then I worked at unloading a truck that is here with a knuckle crane to place the steel.
It came from Libreville loaded with supplies that is needed here at Bongolo. Also did some demolishing of the building we are working on to get the crane in place to lift the steel that will support the building.
This is a Butler building that was purchased in the states and shipped over to Libreville by Jason Kalb. Today while we were working it rained, it has never rained during the day since i have come to Bongolo. This was a welcome thing as it really cooled the place down. After the rain was over the rest of the day was nice to work in.
While it was raining we had a chance to sort stuff that was in front of the steel roofing and get ready to haul it to the ex-ray building.
Tomorrow we will be hauling and placing the steel structure so good working weather will be needed as the crane is here for only a few days.
Three other men came in this evening so our group has grown to 12.They are staying here in the tri-plex with us. We have a full house. You who came last year know how hard it is to get a comfortable chair to sit in.
I could use some prayer for my back as the heavy lifting.
Didn't know this preacher could get dirty!

and this one, swinging a sledge hammer!



Dave and Kay figuring things out!
