Bob's third day (Bob McGuire)

I just have to praise this team. Everyone is working so hard and the project is really coming together. We had a couple of sick folks on the team yesterday and now a couple of new ones, including my son Nick, are sick. It could be the heat, it could be some of the food, it could be a lot of things so it's hard to tell what really causes these bouts of crud. We had just arrived back at our compound and Nick took off to the bathroom, but was outrun by another of the younger kids. That one got the toilet, and nick found the trash can outside the bathroom. Both were heaving and well... you know. I and a couple others were standing there trying to help and both the boys when they were done starting joking around about it. They had a clear picture of how silly it looked with the both of them racing to the bathroom and doing the same things. No doubt though, they are sick and we hope it will pass quickly. But what I think is so great is how helpful everyone is to each other, and the great attitude even the youngest of our team are displaying.

Tomorrow we really have to hustle since we want to finish the windows and stucco on the house and start on the roof. But in the afternoon, we plan to go out to a camp of some migrant farm workers who are known to be among the poorest of the poor. We will be delivering food staples to them, enough to last about a week for a small family. So keep us in your prayers for the hard work we have yet to do, for recovery of our sick and the protection of the others who have not been sick, and that the small gifts we provide to the migrant farm workers would help them rejoice to have lived in this world with the rest of us.

Love
Bob McGuire
