As we pulled up to Rahabs house this morning we piled out of the van with our tools and water in hand ready to hit the bricks again. Thinking about our progress yesterday I was figuring it would take all of today and most of tomorrow to finish demolishing the cubical walls. We felt good but 2 hours in our energy levels were dropping fast along with the hope to have the walls down in the next 2 days. The heat was taking it's toll, I could see it in the sweat staining our cloths and dripping from our faces, this was going to be one tough day! We took more water breaks, paced ourselves and one by one the walls fell down. God gave us the strength to work today and by the time we stopped at noon only 3 of the walls were still standing, it was incredible. After lunch we made short work of those 3 remaining walls. The next few days should be a little less physically demanding seeing as the heavy hammer work is over but there is still lots that needs to be done.
It is an honour to be working along side of the other 9 members of this field team. Despite the heat, the blisters, the bruises, the cuts and scrapes, the discovering of muscles we didn't know we had and the shear exhaustion, the team stayed focused and we got the walls down. Well done team!
Thank you home team and to all of you for your prayers and support, we could not have made it through the last few days without it.

The walls are coming down...I visited Gordon Brown today and he is with you all the way...in prayer...in communion. What a wonderful way for someone like Gordon to be supportive. He asked me to convey his prayers to you
