We ate breakfast yesterday to the sound of a big tractor outside... and when we looked, we saw that it was a bulldozer, preparing the land for the long-awaited sports square! Hooray! Leif has been out there yesterday and today, helping to dig posts for the fence that will surround the soccer field.
They need to dig 30+ holes and many of the spots have huge rocks in the way. When I went out to take this picture, the guys were discussing if there would be a way to get electricity and a jack hammer for the job. I sure hope so! Leif's hands were SO blistered after yesterday, and they had only done 4 holes and 2 half-holes. Already, many people from the neighborhood have come and asked what is going on. And the location is perfect! It's right in the center of a ring of the apartment buildings in our neigborhood. We'll keep you posted on the progress. Leif, especially, is very excited, as this is the beginning of his dream coming to fruition.

Yay! How exciting! We're praying that this will be a really effective new dynamic to your ministry! We love and miss you guys!
That is awesome!!! I wonder if it might be possible to use a power auger (if you could get electricity out there on the project site). They work wonders for digging fence posts. Ken rented one last year and it makes digging so much easier; though you still can encounter the big rocks which are another beast in themselves! Tell Leif we sympathize with the blistered hands & are excited about the dream coming true.... our thoughts & prayers are with you all! :)
Rejoicing with you!
