Construction update and prayer requests

Latest construction efforts have centered around the installation of ceramic tile in the Birthing and Dormitory blocks. Also, it has been a major challenge to plan for plumbing and electrical installation. Right now the biggies are finding out how to construct small boilers for hot-water radiators and floor heat and how to build solar panels. It just plain costs too much to buy these made or to import them. Just ask the Lord to send the right people our way.
It is close to the end of dry season and Amachuma is a desert. We are buying water by the barrel from a tank truck. The well has water but the windmill isn´t quite fixed yet. Two guys are working hard on that today.
It was a blessing to have Gina and Allena visit. From sorting and labeling all the boxes of medical equipment we have, to singing with their beautiful voices for a dying patient in her home ---it was great to have them!!!
Pray for our president here and all the unrest in Bolivia. Specifically pray that a civil war can be avoided.
Many have asked how Mary is doing. PTL she is much better! She is driving again and back to work in Ohio.
Thanks to you who are part of this whole project thru your contributions and prayers. I´ve got to get home to pay my workers. Love, Judy
