Well, here is our most recent month. Other than being the most rainy month of the year, it was a pretty good time. Lots of stuff happening....check it out!

| This has been a more frequent occurrence....bad part is that they CAN NOT move until insurance comes. Makes for some backed up traffic. Lord keep us safe! |
 |
| Well, it's not everyday you see a dog STUCK in a gate....even here! Bruce and Nix literally had to take 2 legs each and twist his opposite ways to get him out. HE WAS STUCK! |
You ever wonder what it is like to talk to someone on Facetime when the internet is slooowwww?
Here is what happens when you talk to our youth pastor, Matthew Riley......
Yes, the phone was frozen every time we took these pictures--CLASSIC faces...and that wasn't all of them! You're welcome, Riley!

 |
| Happy Halloween! Fur, stench and maggots! YUM!! BTW, the office still stinks! |
October was a super productive month on the roof--here is a little of what happened:
 |
| They tried to put the truss up in one whole piece--it broke, and the crane wasn't big enough to get it up high enough--change of plans.... |
What's that? You were wondering how they got that big crane in the cancha?
 |
| Well with another crane and a fork lift, of course! |
 |
| Yeah, like that! |
 |
| Had to put trusses up by the half and weld it to the tall 3 inch tube....uh huh.... |
 |
| But once they figured it out, they couldn't slow down |
 |
| second truss |
 |
| completed second truss |
 |
| Why yes, that is a man hanging from the truss....that's normal....right!? |
 |
| Putting on all of the nailers |
 |
| Looks awesome |
October was super busy and we had a lot of fun! Thank you for being part of our ministry here in Costa Rica! Hope you get a taste of what we do! We couldn't be here without you and your support!
Thank you!
I hope everyone enjoys those faces as much as I enjoyed making them!
