This project has been expected for many months (since October, to be exact!), and now it is truly happening. Our old house, owned by our mission SIM, was in need of a new roof.

This will take up to four more weeks. I wish I could describe the actual building process in more detail for those of you who are construction-inclined. All I can say is that it is a slow and steady process, using cement and metal, and a tin roof.

Meanwhile we are temporarily living in a small one-bedroom apartment on our compound. Yes, five humans and two cats in this little place is *interesting*. (smile)

Please pray for grace and a good sense of humor while we go through this challenge amidst all of our other activities and responsibilities!
