Juarez, Day 2

Day 4 started a little cold, thank God for stocking caps. We held our morning prayer on crystal beach. The reason we call it a beach is because there is a mission from our church that goes to Jamaica, about the time we are in Juarez and they meet on the beach every morning for a prayer. The reason we call it crystal, is because of all of the glass on the ground. When the sun comes up, it shines on the glass and is quite beautiful, here is a picture from a few years ago. We headed to the site and started putting in the windows. In one spot, it has such a steep drop off and only about 6 inches to stand on. I stood with the saw while Chad and Jeremy pushed me towards the wall so I didn't tumble down the hill with a power saw, that is on. I was perfectly safe as long as they didn't loose their footing.WOW, tiny picture again. That picture, plus the one of me tied to a steeple in New Mexico, is going to make Marcy get more insurance on me. We actually made great progress today, most of the ceiling rafters are on and 3 of the four walls are built and sided. Christy has all ready drilled the holes to pull the electric and put the boxes in that will hold the outlets, plus, she ran the nail gun for the first time. There haven't been any injuries, thank you Jesus. I get the "Thank you Jesus" from Frankie. He says it all the time. I just realized that this is the choppiest, most rambling post I have ever done, sorry. Tomorrow, Chad and I are climbing the mountain behind the house, so I'll snap a few crappy pictures from there so you can have no idea what I was looking at, just like I do when I look at pretty much any picture I take. Bet you can't wait to see those.
