The Cedarbrook Czech work team finished up their efforts to build an amphitheater platform on Friday! We were able to finish all the framing of the large oak timbers, complete with 18 additional "scalloped lookouts" ... affectionately referred to as gargoyles!
We made an awful lot of sawdust this week, reducing a huge pile of random oak timbers to a completed oak frame! The oak decking was delivered on Thursday, with hopes that we could install it on Friday, but in the end we decided that, due to very wet and snowy weather, it would be better to let the timbers dry out, the snow to melt and the moisture to evaporate before we put dry deck boards down. Petr and Tomas will most likely do that sometime in late May or early June.
As far as impact, we all definitely felt that God used us to accomplish a lot, but more so, relational bridges were built and great encouragement was felt across the board. There is not doubt that God was present in leading us through this entire experience. For everyone, the time here was truly life-changing.
There are a few more pictures we'd like to share from our last couple days ... you can find them in this Photo Album.
Thanks again for your prayers and support ... we're very blessed!
