Good morning from La Palma! I´ve been trying to get this uploaded for nearly an hour and we keep losing internet service. This is the third time I have tried to post this, and the frustration is building—but I am being patient! The photo shows the playground equipment on the ground just after unloading it at the new site. The equipment is now fully assembled and being used. The school is meeting in the new classrooms today. The children love it and the teachers are thrilled!

We are very busy and tired but happy. Carolyn said it quite well this morning: “How glorious it is to be weary in doing the Lord´s work!”

We are all well except Arin, from WPB, who is suffering some stomach problems. Nurse Sara was concerned before we came that she might not have anything to do here. She has been extremely busy and is doing a great job! She is a wonderful addition to the team.

Some folks are in Honduras today working with the children´s program there. Some of us are going to San Salvador to attend a preacher school graduation. The remainder are doing school and church improvements here. We all have plenty to do. Tomorrow is the last day for part of our team. We will hate to say goodbye to them but are looking forward to a new team next week.

Sorry for the short report—I must go. God bless you,
Ralph
