Forward Baptist Work Team and Liberato's Wedding

I recently returned to Peru, to host the latest work team from Forward Baptist Church in Cambridge, Ontario. The team had 11 members and we got lots of work done. The team did lots of painting, overhauled our flower gardens, put in two laundry sinks, took down and stored away all the wood forms from our new building and poured concrete on 3 sections of our driveway. I don't have any photos of their work but as soon as I can I will post some. Along with the work they were able to accomplish and sightseeing, the team also got to attend the wedding of our care centre guard, Liberato. The wedding was a big affair and the team stayed and danced into the night.
Thank you Forward Baptist Team for all of your hard work and for making the two weeks lots of fun.

Pachacamac Update

I know, finally an update on the blog. Sorry everyone, but our family recently returned to Canada for 3 months and shortly after doing that, I went back to Peru to host another team. That meant I was without a computer for 3 weeks which prevented me from posting on the blog. During my time in Peru our contractor started construction on 2 of our 6 houses.

Because of soft soil on the property, the contractor had to lay down stone and pack very coarse sand as a base. They then dug trenches and put rebar forms in them as the footing for the houses.

Finally all the trenches are filled with concrete and allowed to dry. In the last couple days I was down there, the contractor was starting some of the brickwork. As many of you know, this project has been a long time coming so we are very excited about the progress being made.
