Cuba Update

We are still painting on the 5th floor of the church. The engineer/architect is a woman and she is very pleased with our work. The ceilings took 4 coats of white and the walls 2 coats of green. We are having fun, but I have noticed that everyone is slowing down. Their midweek service, they call a bible study, is on Tuesday night. It didn't start till 8:00 and we had a great time worshipping. They moved the service to the old part of the church because of construction in what is to be the main sanctuary and it would hold everyone. They set up closed circuit tv and people sat all around on various floors in the construction debris and watched the service...so hungry!!! We were honored with the presence of the general superintendent of the assemblies of God Pastor Hector Hunter. He preached in spanish and we had an interpretor in english, so we actually understood the message!! It was powerful.

Every day they have prayer from 8:00 to noon and as we are working you hear singing, and praying all around the building in various rooms. It is amazaing!

We will finish our work tomorrow, and say our goodbyes. We begin our trek home early Friday morning and will arrive in tampa around 4:30 pm.

The picutres will tell so much, just cant get them emailed from here. You see few cell phones, the locals don't have computers and wireless in the public internet cafes is very new tecnology and very slow. Each of my emails have taken a long time to send.

We have had no interruptions from any of the officials and everything has been perfect. Continue to pray for our health and for a smooth exit and re-entry to the USA.
