Coming Along

We have a process down where we mix 10-20 tons of the material for one day and follow up with creating the compressed earth block the following day. Today was the block creation day. I am sore. We have a pretty good process down though. We made 300+ block today. Once we get the system down, we should be able to make between 500-700 blocks a day. We will need approximately 16000 blocks to build an entire missionary house. But we keep on keeping on.

Two of our team members went out to a village 2 hours away. They will be staying with the villagers for 4 days. Daily activities will include tending to the livestock, making the cornmeal soya porridge and just observing village life. The villagers have a special treat for their new found friends - they will be serving fried bushrat tomorrow. Sounds tasty :-s sorry, i have a heart for the zambian orphans, but I am gonna keep it real - I am not interested in southern fried rodent...

I am tired. That block work is no joke. But I am blessed in knowing that the fruits of my labor will soon be realized.
