Our task was to paint the guide wires to the tower. For those unfamiliar with this daunting task, our job was to assist the missionaries in removing hundreds of feet of steel cable, painting it and then using a pulley system to raise the cable back in place. Most of those cables weigh a lot, and hoisting them up 200 feet on a pulley system was certainly tiring. Despite the difficulty, I was so proud of our team. This big job required each person to fill a role and each of our team was tremendous in accomplishing the goal of getting each of the 12 guide wires painted and re-installed.
The task was so hard but the Lord really blessed us in giving us cloud cover throughout the entire day to protect us from the sun. There was also a pleasant breeze which kept us relatively cool.
The rest of the team had the privilege of ministering at Bolans school. The team performed several musical numbers and Meredith gave a short lesson on how we have nothing to fear because of Christ. After finishing up the program at the school, the team went back to the radio station and continued to help with a variety of projects. This afternoon, Bethany Davis and Emy Bradley traveled off site to interview a local believer and have her share her testimony in preparation for the station's 40th anniversary celebration.
Tonight we had a time of rest and relaxation after a very packed day. We were also able to celebrate Bridget's birthday tonight and had some cake and ice cream. =)
I continue to be so proud, and yet so humbled by each of our team members. God has gifted each one in such special ways and He has allowed each person's gifts and talents to compliment others on the team.
It's hard to believe, but tomorrow will mark our halfway point of the trip. We're excited to be in another school tomorrow and will continue making strides with several projects at the station.
Goodnight from Antigua!
