Dig Day One

So there we were. In Kenya. Blistering hot, sunburned faces, no water, dirt everywhere, and pirates attacking every hour or so. We tried to fend them off, but we eventually lost some of our brave comrades to the scourgeful pirates. By pirates, I mean mosquitoes... OK, that may have been a little overstated. But seriously. today was our first day on the work site, and quite a day it was. Digging through the red African soil that seems to be the life blood of...life itself. Who knows what we may find digging this hole, we are only 200 miles from the famous paleontology site of the Olduvai Gorge. Everyone took turns in the dig, as we used pick axes, jembe's (or hoes), and shovels to clear the dirt and create a hole to store water for the new ministry house.

This hole is absolutely ginormous. Literally, take the biggest hole you could ever imagine and then times it by seven. Even then you have no clue. When we are finished this un-imanigably large hole will be about fifteen feet deep and thirty feet wide. Then we ate.

We also learned that not all rocks are really rocks. Some of them are frogs.
