This past week we were blessed with having a group of 6 men from People's Church in Toronto, Ontario. They were very hard workers and willingly helped to dig a trench along the side of the mission property for the fence foundation. Working alongside 5 men from the Atrel church, great progress was made.

| The shale and rock made digging the trench very difficult |

| By the end of the day, they were thankful for any extra help. Boys from the community were always willing to help. |
A cultural experience that we like to give all visitors to our area, is a trip to our local Friday market.

Another huge blessing this week was the gift of a tractor. A local missionary had a tractor that he was not using any longer and gave it to us as a gift. After fixing it up and giving it a new paint job, it was ready for it's new home. It took 3 hours to drive this tractor to our place and we are very thankful to have it here in Atrel. It is going to be very helpful for transporting building materials in the area.
