We are winning (we think)!

Good evening blogski friends,
It is fair to say we have been working like trojans today and feeling some of the effects of doing so.
Emlyn started the week singing like a BEE-GEE but alas he now serenades in the BARRY WHITE register. It is hard not to laugh when you hand him a requested tool and he says in the style of THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL "thank you very much". This is rock and roll basement building - life on the edge ! The dust and damp is a contributing factor to our aches, pains, frustrations and ailments, but praise God we are winning !!!!

The metal work in the second hall is going up apace. We also plasterboarded the rear hall and completed the rear corridor today. All in all the end result looks terrific but it has taken some perseverance.

 I will post full photos tomorrow.
 Here are some snaps from the last week...
Sunday evening the youth band led us very helpfully at church.

We were really pleased to hear our young friend preach and to see that grace church is giving opportunity to young preachers - he is wearing the beautifully handmade national costume.

Last week we were of course at the stunning opera house -designed by Fellner & Helmer,.

Yesterday afternoon was our trip to the camp.

This was the view from the top, the cross that can be seen for miles around. It is a happy holiday home for many children and families who come to hear about Jesus Christ.

Every day these three chaps are guarding Emlyn's bed.

The children generously gave myself and Emlyn their treasured soft toys to say thank you for the gifts that we brought. We have learnt from experioence that this is their opportunity to give, and we do not want to take that away from them. They are cheerful givers and we are humbly grateful to be trusted to look after such treasured possessions. 
Speak soon, much love from blogski and cuddly friends.
