The dirt...literally..digging dirt :)

Hello everyone,
Hope all is well in the states.Yesterday afternoon we began our work on the roads around bonoglo hospital. basically how it works here is Tim (the missionary we are staying with) drives a truck to our location with dirt,dumps it and the group starts swinging our shovels and paves it down smooth. it looks so much better already, today and tomorrow we'll finish up on that, doing about 4hrs a day and although it's tiring work everyone has such a good attitude it's made it for good working conditions.
it was overcast yesterday and again today, which is actually a blessing since we're working outside.
Tim and his family have been great, very welcoming and their three children are getting along great with our team.
Last night we had some cool God stuff going on and i'd love to tell you about it....but i won't, not yet.... have to leave some things out of this so come sunday august 9th when we have our service to update the trip you have new things to hear about. :)
off to another tour today, the groups now swutch and one will see the hospital and the other will see the mission.
tonight small groups of us will be let in to pray for people in the hospital too.
thanks for your prayers and comments here, i've told the teens you've been reading and responding and they were very excited.

  4. Hello all from the Scaduto cell. We've viewed all your pictures and are excited that you are all doing well. The Littlefields want to know "where is Jayme???!!!" Is she well ? Did the gorilla's carry her off?
    The parents here want to know why you kids don't work that hard at home...things will change when you get back..perhaps you might consider staying in Africa. We're all about life change. Can you tell we have a great cell that's lots of fun. Tommy how heavy is an iphone..pick up a shovel and help out.
    We love you all and are praying daily for each and everyone of you. Lots of Love and Prayer,
    The Scripters,Penns,Littlefields and Scadutos
