interesting developements

 
 
Hi Folks,
 
    I wish I could pass along more positive statements, and more good news this morning, but I feel SO overwhelmed with frustration!
 
     We had an estimate for the completion of both buildings for the new school here in Puerto Cabezas of just under $30,000.00...for both buildings.  I just had a meeting with our contractor this morning and he was estimating the next two steps in the building process. 
 
     We have already outlaid $5,000.00 for the project, which bought us that BEAUTIFUL foundation which you saw the picture of last week in our blog.  We thought that was high, but since we had previously been told the estimate, we didn't worry too much.  We figured that concrete must be expensive, which it IS.
 
     This morning the same person comes back with an estimate of $6,000.00 for the OTHER foundation and $8,000.00 to build the walls HALFWAY up on the first building.  Things just weren't adding up!
 
     THAT would have put us $19,000.00 into the project with only two foundations and a half-wall on ONE building done!  Definitely NOT adding up toward the original $29,000.00 estimate.  So, we posed a WHOLE BUNCH of questions to the pastors that were arranging things for us.  The upshot is that we ended up firing our contractor this morning, and the frustration level is immense.
 
    We KNOW that a work of God is in progress here, and that the enemy will try many things to stop this Work of God from happening...but it is still frustrating.
 
     We are basically at square one, with a deadline looming.  The school year starts Feb. 1, and we really need help.  We covet your prayer like never before!
 
 
God Bless,
 
Richard and Carolyn Becton
