From Amy Bissette:
Almost 7:00 AM here and we should all be up at our prospective houses getting ready to arrive at the worksite for breakfast, devotions and some more hard work with the concrete. The men worked in the concrete yesterday afternoon after what we are calling a 'Concrete' emergency. The building engineer didn't know we arrived late and concrete was poured early and hardening up - they called for help and the men rushed out to move the concrete around and were able to save most.
This morning we should be back on schedule. Two bags (of three) have been reported found and should be delivered this morning - let's pray that my (yes, mine) bag will be delivered miraculously along with it. We will work all day with three of our group going to the Soup Kitchen to eat lunch with the group of elderly Bulgarians and share testimonies and lead the bible study - Mark 6:30-56. Tonight, we will go to home groups (bible studies).We are staying at different homes around the city - which is a litte different from our Dominican mission teams. After dinner of pizza and shopska salad we returned to our host homes. It was heartwarming to see the young boy of Mike's host home come running out to greet him last night as we dropped him off and they walked arm in arm back up to the apartment. More later and photos to come!
From April Stamper:
Great news! All three bags arrived today! Thank you all for praying! We're all CLEAN with FRESH NEW CLOTHES on! Oh the things we take for granted these days! We got to shovel a lot of concrete today, which was sweet. Some went to a soup kitchen. It was an overall very good and very blessed day.
Team 2 - you better be ready for some blessings and good times!
Thank you all for praying!
From Mike Danielson:
I was finally able to fix my phone, so I made my first international call to my parents. They were excited to hear my voice! Today was our first full day of pouring concrete. Talk about back breaking work, I don't believe I've ever worked this hard with cement. We started at 8:30am worked until 5:00pm and finished half of the second floor, next half tomorrow. I totally understand what the concrete workers for our new facility(Covenant) have gone through.
We've had such beautiful weather, mid 70's to near 80's during the day time and high 50's to low 60's at night. FIY, the sun rises here before 5am. I wish I could type more, but it is midnight here and I need to go to bed.

Amy and Mike-
I'm posting based on the team's comments. Feel free to email me if you have access to email. If you only have web access and can't get to email, just keep posting comments and I'll move them to the main page. I'm checking email and the web three times a day, so I won't miss the current information by much. Thank you all for being willing to do God's work!

Great work there Mike. Shovelling concrete is much harder than running a video camera, eh? Glad you're having a wonderful experience. Sounds like a lot of bonding going on. I've got your team in my prayers. Blessings for a super experience for you and the team, and the local folks there.
