Lots of painting

Our church will have their first service at the new building next Sunday. This week every afternoon we have been busy down there cleaning and painting. It is always fun to paint in public as people always stop and watch. I must have been told 10 times that they have never seen a women painting before and that they didn't know women could paint :D. I had quite the crowd at one point! They whole church has been a huge help and it is great to see everyone working together. We still have a lot to do as well as moving all the chairs, podium, benches, over. I am looking forward to Sunday though.

Jake has been busy at HHCH getting lots of little projects finished up. The chicken coops are now plastered and all we need to put up is the run. He and Norbert (with the help of the older boys) made a cement bench for the kids to do their clothes washing on. Also he has put up 6 clothes lines pole and two bathrooms have been tiled.  

Our first 50 chickens

 We had to keep them in a small warm place for the first few days. They have a lot more room now and have about doubled in size already. They will be ready to eat in 4 weeks.


 The chicken coops

The farm is doing great. You can see corn and beans growing in the back. The kids are doing a great job of looking after it and keeping it weed free.

Wow everything looks great! Funny, I was out painting a new fence Russell put up this weekend and I had a street cleaner (a big urban one) come down our dirt road to see what i was up to. The man rolled down his window and told me he wouldn't ruin my job with all his dust! He just wanted to see what i was uop to..
