So far, this is a great mission trip. We arrived on time at 9 30 last night. It is about the same weather as Pensacola, we may have an afternoon shower soon. There is a bit of a breeze.
The Presbyterians here are wonderful. They fed us a small breakfast and wonderful, big lunch at their church, the Disiciples of Jesus Presbyterian Church. Lunch was a squash soup that even Anne Louise liked. Meals at the church are served in paper bowls with plastic spoons and forks fresh from the package. The soup boiled all morning, so the germs were killed. They seem to have learned a lot about hosting mision trips since my last one here in 1988.
We were greeted by the pastor and members of this church. they sang to us and with us and had a morning devotional. This is a special ministry.
Today we placed roof support beams made of concreat on a roof. the roof covers 4 Sunday school rooms. Tomorrow a few of our number will go to sites south of here to install water filtration systems. You may read all about this part of the project at http://www.livingwatersfortheworld.org/
Friday and Saturday we will finish the roofing project in Uman.

This is Stephen's mother, checking in from Mobile to see how you all are. It's so good to learn that all is going well on the mission trip. Thanks, Walk, for providing this way for us back at home to keep up with your progress!
Best wishes to you all!
