New Kitchen Floor

Late yesterday, because we had a break in our work waiting for cement to harden inside forms, we decided to raise the floor in the multipurpose room slash kitchen. So we loaded medium size rocks from front yard to kitchen by hand and 5 gallon buckets. We covered most of the floor with those and then grabbed the old cement  fence posts and used a 3 pound sledge hammer to break them up and place among the rocks. Today we mixed and mixed cement. At one point we had 3 separate piles going. The hardest part is carrying the 110 pound bags of cement from inside to the pile of sand and gravel. We probably mixed about 25 bags of cement today to finish the kitchen floor.

                                      Some of the beautiful Cambodian orphans from the home.
We needed to help them get a new floor. The home is right next to rice fields and the land is low and the kitchen floods when the rain is heavy. This was a real blessing for the home because they will now be able to eat on dry ground. God is so good to allow us to be able to do extra work at the home. This was only able due to Gods grace and mercy. He allowed us to bless the home beyond what we had planned.
