Last day in Atrel

Well the week is over and I think it is safe to say that everyone is tired and ready to head back tomorrow morning.
The Haitian crew that is working with us, started the morning at 4 am.  They were wanting to go home today, so they worked until 7:30 and then packed up their things and started for home.  They are all from the Fermathe area and they have been up here for 2 weeks, so they have went home to see their families and they will return on Tuesday.
Today was extremely hot so we took it a little easier.  But this amazing group of men continued to work away at the rock pile and accomplished a lot.
Words cannot fully express our gratitude to these men for coming and humbling serving.  It has not been "fun" work but they have served with their whole heart.  They really are examples of humble servants.


There were 3 young guys who volunteered for most of the morning.  Their help was greatly appreciated.

This large pile of loose rocks was all needing to be moved.  This was definitely not a fun job.

There has been a lot of earth moved this week


They were determined to finish the rock before moving to a much easier section.

The loose dirt (aka "gravy") was much easier


The last wheelbarrow load for the week.

Everyone realized that Riley (aka "Wally") did not choose the best place to stand.

Riley caught a lizard and Robert enjoyed playing with it as well.
