Heading to Atrel

This week has been full of preparations for our two week stay in Atrel. Tomorrow 31 people arrive from the Netherlands to help build a much needed secondary school in Atrel. We will be traveling early Monday morning with everyone up to Atrel.
It has been a lot of work just to get ready for this group, since we will be staying in a school and have no electricity and therefore no refrigeration, along with no running water etc. We have had to get everything to make a classroom into a kitchen, along with building our own shower stalls etc.
Kyrk and I are tired already and we haven't even started the work in Atrel. Pray with us that the next 2 weeks go smoothly and that God is glorified through all that is said and done. We know that we are going to be stretched, but we are relying on God's strength.
We will return on Aug. 11 so I will try and post once we return. We are trusting that God does come great things and that He continues to draw us closer to Him through this challenging experience.
