Day 1 on worksite

Hello all,
   It is great to be back in Liberia! It feels like my home away from home. I have had an incredible time catching up with old friends, it is so great to see that they are healthy and doing well. Along with catching up with old friends we are able to build relationships with new friends.
   We have been in Liberia for five days and I am now re-acquainted with Monrovia and the sights and sounds. As familiar as much of it is,  it is still hard to see the living conditions of many. It leaves me with a heavy heart that I cannot help everybody that I see. God is helping me to see the abundant beauty in Liberia. Liberia is a rich country,  not in monetary ways as we think of in North America, but it is spiritually rich and rich in family and I find this truly inspiring. God has presented us with many opportunities to see this wealth first hand.
   Today we started at the work site clearing overgrowth. It felt great to start work, even though the sun was hot, I mean really hot (which only deemed as warm here in Liberia) With frequent water breaks the team did a great job and accomplished a lot of work. I am impressed by their strength and determination.
   I am sorry that we are not posting more pictures but we are finding that our internet connection is not the best but we will upload photos as we can.
   We are staring to meet more children here which is bitter sweet for me, as most of you know I love little kids especially babies, but it leaves me missing my own children that are at home.
Kieran- Daddy loves you and I think of you all the time
Callie- My princess I hope you are having fun with Aunt Claire Daddy loves you
Quinn- I miss your silliness and I love you
Sending big hugs and kisses to all of you xoxoxo


Blessings
Don
