We were able to attend the morning worship service at Fontina today. It seems that the road is more bumpy that it was last fall. There were about 70 or so adults and teens in the main service and another 30 or so children in their service. As one might expect, the energy level was high. Several folks made a point of greeting me. Work has progressed on the church building, but they are not yet meeting there. The worship service was in the room we used for our dining hall. Windows and doors are all set in the new building. The concrete sections covering the posts are done. The exterior wall has been "plastered", but it is a textured surface not a smooth one, and I'm not sure if that is the final surface or if another layer will be applied. The floor is poured, and a concrete and block raised platform area has been added. Remaining work is to put a smooth finish surface on the platform and floor and to put steps at the two side doors. Some photos have been posted on FaceBook.
After lunch back at the mission station, we took a walk through the market in town; I'm very thankful for supermarkets back home.
A few more hours of relaxation then its back to work tomorrow.
