We continue to work on the small house in the backyard of our house. Today, we only had 4 of us. We sift the sand through a screen by hand to fill the wheel barrow, then mix a bag of concrete with water and the sand on the ground with shovels. Then,looking at the picture, Augustine, on the left, lays the cement and brick one by one with great care, and Rene Bram, a past stake president and mission president, on the left of me, filled the cracks. Richard Swalm, on the right of me, worked on the steel posts, cutting them to specific measurements, as well as mixing the cement with me and getting it into the wheelbarrow. it's a good workout shoveling and mixing with just a shovel. We cover ourselves with 30% Deet, which works well keeping the mosquitos and other biting pests off us for 4 hours or so. Great men to work beside, and a service project of love. |
