FINALLY! BRINGING IN THE BEANS!
 
Bet­ter late than nev­er, as the 108 TONS of beans are final­ly dry and ready for stor­age! With a team of 43 men, we had 1,200 sacks (72 TONS), in the barn over the last 2 days. 
 

Cape­na, Office Man­ag­er, weighs 3 sacks of beans at a time while Car­l­i­tos Jorge holds the 🔦 torch.​
 
Mov­ing 600 sacks weigh­ing 132 lbs./60kg EACH, is no easy task, but these super strong men made it look easy. We begin prepar­ing these beans for long term stor­age on Mon­day, June 20th, and will receive the final 600 sacks on Tues­day.  So no need to count sheep next week, we will be count­ing beans in our sleep!
 

Ear­ly bird start at 5a.m. on 2nd day of bean buy­ing. Two of our pick-ups pro­vide lights along with 3 🔦 torch­es.​
 
Keep us cov­ered in prayer, for if all goes as planned, we will move ALL 108 TONS into our bean barn by Wednes­day noon.
 

1st day’s beans in the barn. 600 sacks total.
 
 
A BIRD’S EYE VIEW OF OUR MISSION STATION
 
The VP of Orphans Unlim­it­ed blessed me this week with a satel­lite pho­to from Google Earth of our Bala­ma mis­sion sta­tion. I decid­ed to share it with you, so you can see where we live with­out hav­ing to fly over here.
 
The BIG GREEN SQUARE in the low­er half of this pho­to is our 40 acre/16 hec­tor mis­sion sta­tion. The town built around us many years after we had pur­chased this land in 2002. The children’s homes are NOT on our mis­sion prop­er­ty as the chil­dren live in the vil­lage area just out­side our fence.

THE FAR LEFT UPPER CORNER of this GREEN SQUARE shows the food ware­hous­es, which we are work­ing in right now to fill with corn, beans, and rice by the end of July.
 
Fol­low the dirt road down to the mid­dle of our mis­sion prop­er­ty and the FIRST LONG TIN ROOF in the trees is our office and my home (all under 1 roof).  The oth­er build­ings are guest homes, and the cov­ered areas where our trucks are parked.  
 
THE FAR RIGHT UPPER CORNER (sandy area) is our soc­cer field, with the All Pur­pose Food Distribution/Education/Playground Cen­ter sit­ting just north of the soc­cer field.
 
If you turn LEFT at the Food Cen­ter, the dirt road takes you to the LONG BUILDING in the mid­dle of the prop­er­ty.  That is our church build­ing.
 
I hope this satel­lite tour helps you to under­stand bet­ter where every place is that I speak about in my blogs.
 
KEEP THOSE PRAYERS COMING! IT’S LOTS OF WORK TO BRING IN 500 TONS OF FOOD BY END OF JULY!
 
BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL!
