today we did in 5 hours what a forklift could have accomplished in 10 minutes - we moved three tons of bricks from the ground floor to the 2nd story which is not yet built. much of the construction in chile is constantly in progress. this church will soon be two stories. the job was actually fun as we were tossing the bricks to each other in a fire line. most everything that people feel they me use again one day is thrown up on the roofs of their homes, it's baffling as some homes don't look like they can hold the weight, add to that the fact that this is earthquake country and some folks are going to have repercussions one day.
our group is being split in two days, i'll spend the rest of next week here in arica and the other half of the group will head south closer to the city of acica where our last two weeks will be spent. time is really moving now as we've been kept pretty busy with this church.

Hi Peter! I'm home and catching up on everything I've missed over the past two months. Thought of you often over the summer and I'm glad to see that it appears that you are in a good place, which is great to see. I was warmed to read of your baptism, and I love the coincidence stories. Indeed they are proof of not only a Creator, but one who is so intimately involved in our lives as to remind us in such humorous ways that he is watching and caring! Have a great one!
Good Morning Peter, good to catch up with you again. Christine and I are very blessed to see how our Lord is working in your life and how He is opening doors for you to work in other's.
I'll email you on what has been going on here in the upper North America.
We are continuely praying for you and for those you are helping.
Blessings,
unc and Christine
