Saturday morning started out with Debbie being called by Pat to tell her he was sick and would not be coming out this weekend. We arrived at the job site early and Debbie started to make calls trying to get Pat's hours covered. We then had our morning meeting on staying hydrated during the hot days. Next Facio told us that his goal was to get the four houses ready for inspection this week. Jackie, Jackie's sister, Luisa, Luisa's helper, and Maria worked on finishing the rebar on Evelyn's house. When they finished they moved to Jackie's house. Leticia and her many volunteers worked on adding rebar pieces to lot 6 and lot 9. After lunch Leticia started to work with the rebar team on Jackie's house. Paul and Jacob finished filling in the dirt on lot 6. Then they moved over to lot 7 (Deena's house) to use the jackhammer to enlarge two areas for the plumber. Debbie, Deena, Lupe, and Debbie's volunteer worked on putting vertical rebar on lot 13 (Andres and Luisa's house). John, Brandon, and Steve worked on lot 6 adding the final inside boards and leveling boards. Patricia and myself had to relay out the front wall on the house and add a few more bolts on lot 6, 7, and 10. Evelyn, Maria, Wendy, and Delilah worked on inside boards on lot 13. Carlos came after lunch and worked on adding the other utilities to lot 13. Our friends Lorraine and Larry came out in the afternoon to help Debbie cover her hours.

Sunday we got started hoping that we would get everything done, so we can pour next weekend. Most of us worked on lot 12 and lot 13. We worked on adding the vertical rebar, bolts, and adding final inside boards. Paul, Sal, Jacob, and Michael worked on enlarging two trenches on lot 10 (John and my lot).

This was a very hot weekend. We were blessed by Kevin bring lemonade out on Saturday for last break. Sean brought out ice cold water out Sunday for last break. Thank you to all the people that came out this weekend to work and bring us beverages.
Sadly, we did not get all the lots completed. We did get one lot done. Lot 6 will be inspected on Monday. We will continue to work on the other three to get them inspected next week. Hopefully, the plumber will come out and finish the last three house. Pat was missed. We hope he is feeling better. Debbie was able to get her hours for the weekend.
Prayer Requests:
1) Lot 6 passes inspection
2) cooler weather
3) Energy and strength for everyone.
4) Good health for everyone.
Matthew 11:28-30
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Psalm 105: 1-4
1 Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has done.
2 Sing to him, sing praise to him;
tell of all his wonderful acts.
3 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
4 Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek his face always.
