Hope this comes through to pass on! The last email was cut off as I ran
out of room on my blackberry and then we arrived before I could finish
the last one. I will send it later in the day.
We are experiencing our first day in the field! Here is a picture of
Marshan and Jared digging 2' deep seed holes! They made long rows of
these this morning just to find out that only one was deep enough! So they
are back at it again. Pat, Hillary, Lauren, Danielle and I cleared the
soil and dug trenches and seed beds in a 25'x25' garden today. The
rest of the team are painting primer onto the church and cutting out the
pathway to the dam with machetes. We are all working side by side with
Compassion staff and parents. No small task and everyone is plowing
through the water, and backs are aching, but it is wonderful working
together doing the Lord's work! Everyone is having a ball helping out! Oops!
Jared just broke his tool...the brute! ;o). Well, I had better get off
the Blackberry and onto work!
Hi to all at home from everyone here!

This is a running commentary on my preparations, experiences and thoughts as I embark upon what I know will be one of my most life-altering experiences yet. I will likely not have any signal for posting throughout most of my stay, but I will be journaling and catch up online as I am able. I hope that you will hop on board and enjoy this journey with me!
