Well, we have been here for 5 days now. Everything is going very well. Things are going slow on the work, but they had to order the steel on Monday, then it was delivered yesterday, and then it was cut today. Tomorrow they will get the colums done with the steel and wood frames for the first floor. Then they will need to order cement to fill the columns and then will need to set for couple of days. Today we washed our clothes for the first time by hand. Everyone but Anna was involved. It was fun watching the guys help. We had an 8 year old little girl showing us how to do it and helping us and laughing at us. Her name is Linda. She is very cute. The food has been good. They eat a type of porridge in the morning made of maize (corn) and a thick porridge for lunch and dinner of the same maize. Well, the internet is slow, so will need to make this short. Love and blessings to everyone. We will still try to get some pictures on here, but a little hard to get.
