Why am I here? The universe, millions of years ago the world created as a tiny speck in the universe. this island raised our of a mighty ocean as a tiny speck in the world. A mountain that supports this tiny island of St Vincent, this small church group in the village of Traumaka, this small project of the total needs of the total world. Many years ago the island was populate by slaves. Later, initiated by someone years before, they were lifted out of slavery. A small start for a major event. Here we are in this small place, doing this small job, feeling so overwhelmed by needs to be done. Maybe this small step will grow.
Joel, Jim and Farris are cooking a breakfast of eggs, potatoes, and bacon. This is our last day of work before we depart. My experience here was primarily construction and relating toe local folks. The teaching team dealt with a great number of children. The dental team dealt with a great number of people. Maybe it would be better if we sent smaller construction teams and hired local people to help build.. Help the economy,help the family of the workers, and give an opportunity to develop a relationship inside the church and outside.
Finished the North side of the roof today. Cut tin for the other side..
Dad, I loved reading these. I don't suppose you would go on another trip like this after all these years?
