This week a few of us came out during the week to get some things done, so we could accomplish more this weekend. Saturday started out with our safety meeting on using power tools. We then were divided into two groups. 1st group working on getting the first four lots (6,9,12,13) ready for slab. In that group was David, Dave, Jacob, John, Steve, Brandon, Carlos, Alfredo, Naty, and Luisa's helper. The second group was working on the next four lots (14,15,16,17). We were getting them ready for having there footings to be poured. In the second group was Jackie, Yasmin, Luisa, Maria, Leticia, Evelyn, Maia, Wendy, Delilah, Lupe, Patricia, Debbie, Lynda, Deena, Pat, Paul, and myself. Pat had to leave soon after we started, so John came and worked with group two for a while. Leticia's sister and brother-in-law came out to help with rebar on her house for a while. Our friend John came out for a few hours.
Here is our weekend in Pictures:

We worked hard this weekend and got a lot completed. Thank you to all of our friends and family that came out this weekend to help us get our hours in and get work accomplished. God provided abundantly for us this weekend. It was a beautiful cool fall weekend. God provided people to help Debbie make her hours this weekend. We did know if Debbie would make her hours until 4:30 when we added up all the help we had this weekend.
Psalm 19
19 The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
2 Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
4 Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world.
In them He has placed a tent for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
2 Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
4 Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world.
In them He has placed a tent for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.
10 They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them Your servant is warned;
In keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.
13 Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins;
Let them not rule over me;
Then I will be blameless,
And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
Prayer Requests:
1) Harmony in the group
2) strength and health for the group
3) this upcoming week and weekend's work
4) Our families
5) Our children who are being taken care of by family and friends.
