Kitchen counters in, sealed and waxed, check.
Wall painted BLUE, check,
Pipes bought, sprayed black for shelves, check.
Black and white checkered curtains made with love and included in the shipment to hide all the stuff in the lower spaces, check!
Next is to buy three 11 foot long planks of wood, treat, stain and install wall shelves!
I am excited to be able to use my counter tops and to be cooking in my kitchen. A big shout out of thanks to my husband for all his hard work, to Marcelo for helping a ton with the counter tops, and to Kristen, Alex and Sydney for helping get the painting done in record time.

Kevin and Marcelo have been working hard as a 2 man team to do what a 4 or 5 man team should be doing. We have tried to hire on other hands, but most men are still out picking coffee or have just returned with pockets of cash and are not looking for more work yet. It has been very frustrating. Add that to the fact this is the 3 time preparing for a fence as the property line was changed 2 times since we moved in November 1st and the fact than even though it is in the contract, the owner did not provide all the materials for the fence and kitchen as agreed upon. We have been working out our plans for the work God has for us with every spare dollar and moment we can find. God is faithful, and there has been progress on the kitchen and the fence.
Unfortunately we have lost our vehicle during the process as well. I am praying for a vehicle or the money to buy one as we need one for the work here. I know our God is a Big God and our small challenges here are worth every effort to be able to have our home be a home to many more kids who need love. We push though and look forward to the smile and hugs and the lives that will be changed for the Glory of God.
