April, like the rest of the country was very dry and pleasant but lately it’s rained and the country around us has burst into life and beauty.
We hope our blogs may be a little more regular as work commences. We only have finances to go so far at the moment but we continue to bring our needs before the Lord.
Work has started on the first floor of the barn. Dear friends that we worked with in the past while at People International came to visit us from the States, one of them via Pakistan and Afghanistan. They gave us two weeks free labour and made a wonderful start, insulating the eaves and getting all the timber frame work in place for the dormitories. We were so encouraged to see the work actually get off the ground.
Since then the carpenters have picked up where Chuck, Cathy, Ron and Donna left off.
A 2000 gallon water tank was delivered this week, shortly to be partly sunk into the ground and fed by a new spring.
This week should also see the ground floor excavated.
After this then who knows? We are trusting God knows. He knows all things, the end from the beginning and every star BY NAME!!
Psalm 147v.4
We’ve just said goodbye to good friends from our previous church in Tunbridge Wells. Sixteen arrived on Friday evening and worked so hard, erecting fences, clearing brambles and weeds and making the entrance to the property much prettier and more welcoming. The fellowship was sweet, food was good and six folk even slept in the semi constructed rooms in the barn! We must thank our dear friend Alan from our church in Carmarthen for all his help with the catering over the weekend.
We are all well here. It’s hard to believe that Ffion will be two in the not too distant future, Menna has completed her first year at University and Lloyd commences his first year in September.
Luke is still living in Sweden, though we are really looking forward to seeing him and girlfriend Emelie in July.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, we hope you enjoy the photos.
From all the Pritchards with our love.
