March 31, Tuesday
Everyone is tired as we drive to work this AM on the bus, most are sleeping, little chatter.
At this point the kindergarten is terribly torn apart. No ceilings, no flooring, plaster on only a half a wall. Big holes in the back of the building where the contractor who is supposed to be helping us took a hammer and knocked a hole in the back of the hall to show the men how easy it would be to remove a steel addition. The addition didn’t move but the adjoining brick wall did move.
One of the frustrations is seeing the men hired to help us stand around watching while we try to learn to do work that they well know how to do.
One of the joys is knowing that we are being obedient to serve.
One of the saddest things is that the founder of the school, an old man, has to sit up keeping watch all night long so that the locals will not break in the school and steal the tools and supplies. The other sad thing is the lack of appreciation on the part of the people. We are working to improve a kindergarten for their children and except for a few families there is little support. They stand on the street corner and watch but they do not participate.
The saddest thing is that all of this is because they do not know the Lord.
For that we must pray, nothing else really matters.
