Thursday:

We got off to a good start this morning.
Rob, Caleb and Luke were able to get the remaining lights hung in the front room and after a few bugs were worked out we were in probably one of the most well lit rooms in Liberia! Later in the day they also got up most of the lights in the back room and all the outlets worked as well. We gave the 110 generator a good work out today. Luke cut his leg today on a screw sticking out of a piece of wood but is fine.
Loren and Mark were able to get a door hung and cut in half so Tony can sit in the back room with the half door closed and still keep an eye on the shop, being the "Boss Man" that he is!
Eric and Kolegar worked on shoring up the last of the book shelves on the wall, while Noah and his helpers got 3 of the 6 center bookshelves complete.
We had a group of kids stop in today on their way home from school and Loren was nearly overtaken as he handed out colored pipe cleaners to them all. We have also made friends with a handful of neighborhood boys, who have been hanging out each day amazed at these strange white guys actually working.
We got a good American lunch in today with cheeseburgers with fries and personal pizzas being the favorites; and no they were not Pizza Hut, they were much better!
Please keep praying that we can wrap up each of the projects by tomorrow night.
Also keep in mind that Tony still has a long way to go to seeing his vision of Centerpoint reached, this library is just the beginning; take a look at the web site to get further information.
