Muddy puddles on site

Despite the torrential rain of Sunday evening (Praise the Lord for the rain!!), the building work is full steam ahead. There are some muddy puddles in the foundation trenches but nothing unmanageable. The walls which will form the foundations are now quite high at the front of the new church building so we start to realise how much it will stick out of the ground! The reason for that is that our plot of land is very low compared with the road level, so the building has to be raised up to avoid flooding issues. (There were some major flooding issues in Kandi on Sunday. The road outside Educolo was totally flooded. Elsewhere a bridge over a gutter was destroyed - possibly before the rain came - and a relative of one of our nodding acquaintances stepped into the gutter to cross to the other side during the storm and was sadly swept away to her death.)

Here's the building as of yesterday:

And finally, some large puddles outside CEG2:





The temperatures are slightly lower than before because of the rain - good news!!!
