This is the sand that we went and picked up on Monday. Took 9 trips to the wharf. |

| These are the original fenceposts from the house that sat here probably a hundred years ago. |
Another view of the fenceposts. I would love to find out some history about them. |

 |
| We took the cage off of the truck so that we can use it for picking up gravel. |
This truck has really come in handy for all that we have needed to do. Praise God. |

| This is the first floor plan of the building. This will be our main living area. The front multi-purpose area will be where we can hold classes or events. |
This is the second floor plan of the building. This floor is entirely ministry area. We will have two guest bedrooms, a veranda, a storage area, a computer room where pastors can use the internet to do research, and a room for music lessons or other meetings. The veranda is a nice sitting area. |
