The Lord has presented us with yet another project at the Bible Institute. I keep joking with Daryl that his middle name should be "Construction". This time the project is the boys bathroom. As the 2011 school year approaches, it became evident that it needed some serious attention.
But that's not the whole story...Several weeks ago, Daryl was trying to fix some plumbing in the bathroom. He was pounding on the cement floor, when all of a sudden, he fell through the floor. Thankfully, he didn't fall all the way through, since he held himself up by his arms and elbows. The cement floor was so poorly made, it just crumbled when Daryl hit it. The whole cement floor had to be taken out (photo above). 
In order to put a new wooden floor in the bathroom, we had to take all of the rotten boards out and put in new framing.
Above: Daryl explaining the project to me. Kaylee, Ben, and I went to help him out one morning. The kids moved the old cement (pictures forthcoming in the Feb Kid's Edition), while I worked with Daryl putting in the new boards.

Brand new sink.
The new shower is almost completed.
The new toilet has been installed.
This project is a temporary fix, since the BI is still waiting for the new building to be built. Please continue to pray for the building permits to be approved, for God's provision for the rest of the funding, and for increased participation and support by area Chilean churches.
