It is finished!

After a long week of work of getting ready for the big pour…we did it! The section of the driveway is now complete.

This morning we got up extra early to get every last thing ready before the cement truck showed up at 8am. “When the truck shows up, it’s go time,” as Steve put it. And boy was he right. When the cement started to pour out of the truck we had to act fast and work hard before it dried. We had some challenges due to the slope of the driveway but we pushed through and we were finished at about noon. I don’t remember the last time I have worked this hard doing manual labor. I honestly don’t think I would have survived this week with out these other guys…Kirk, John and Alvin worked so hard that it pushed me to keep going.

Tonight we went to the Espinoza’s house for dinner and to hear about how they are serving in the mission field. Andres, Adriana and their 2 year old son Daniel are planning to go to France later this year to serve among Muslim immigrants and refugees. Adriana cooked us wonderful Costa Rican dinner. Andres shared with us their passion to reach Muslims in France in the hopes that they can return to their home countries to spread the Gospel. It was very encouraging to spend time with a family that is so committed to being obedient to God’s call!

Tomorrow is our fun day! And then it’s time to head home.
