Shipping Containers x4

Although the road needed fixing, meetings and discussions were held with the chefe-suco, who in turn talked to the relevant land owners… but after all that, four 20ft shipping containers were delivered to the site.

And sometimes the little things matter too – Luke fixed the cement mixer (so instead of the removal of a rock that stopped the rotation of the weel, he put a spring that he found on the road) and it works great!

More work needs to be done, but we are so thankful to God for everything He helped us achieve so far.

    It was a very different experience to drive the car about 45 minutes to Dili, a capital, compared to 4 what time it was when I left Maliana.
