Foundation Laying Ceremony

I visited while they were decorating the tent and my neighbor
insisted I take a picture of her working. She does all of the work
like this for all activities. if you ever need fabric draped
anywhere for decorations, she's the one to call.
 I'm not sure if that is exactly how you would translate the ceremony that we had, but its the best I can do. Translating can be tough sometimes. Two people from the Church of Christ in Thailand were already going to be in town for an event at the hospital today, so they stayed a few extra hours for our ceremony as well. They talked about the importance of the new building, the addition of 3 grades over the next 3 years, prayed for the construction and safety of the builders, a short message, a song by the choir, and the people from CCT, the school board, and the manager and director of the school each dumped a bucket of cement over the first pillar. I included all of their pictures dumping cement below so you can get an idea of who these people are. At least have a face to put with them. Maybe it will make it more real for those of you who have never visited our school before.











Someone requested a picture of the director and manager at the building
site. So, after the ceremony I took the picture of them standing in one of the
future classrooms. It's so good to see this project underway. Please continue
to pray for this project as the building progresses.
