We were successful in meeting our deadline, which was today at 1:30pm, when the hospital had scheduled a knaffe (the cadillac of local desserts) party for us and all the hospital staff who wished to come, esp. the maintenance staff. We did it in local style, working up to the last minute to get the floors done, but wonder of wonders it all came together. And in the speeches that were given, it was obvious that the hospital leadership was sincerely grateful and amazed that we got it all done. They said to Bob that hopefully this kind of teamwork could happen every six months or every year. I responded that such a comment is like saying to a newly delivered mother, "hopefully you will do this again!"
To all of you who have been supporting us in prayers and thought, and financially, you would have been pleased to see the outcome, as we are. We have all learned alot about each other, from each other, and from the local staff. Elvin Weaver coordinated all very well, and the rest of us followed well, and the comment was made today that the other half of the building had been done by a local contractor, and it was clear to those in attendance that we did a better job.
Tomorrow we are told that there remain some jobs for us elsewhere, but the mountain is behind us, and we are headed to Jerusalem Sat. morning, but not until one last good day here.
