This morning, Manuela posted the following update on the Shared Blessings Facebook page:

I forgot to mention that is rained for 2 days! (that was last week Friday and Saturday) It is as unusual to have rain in January in Gambia, as it would be to have snow in August in WA! I don’t know who was praying for the weather, but it was very nice for the guys to work in some cooler temperature! It’s back into the high 90’s or more….yesterday it was 108 in the sun! : (
The work is going so well, we are trying to figure out some other project for the team for the last few days! We always have lots of work, so that’s not a problem. Barb and Molly are painting pictures and Bible verses on the classrooms walls and the teachers and kids love it! Today is crafts and story time! We are having so much fun!

Here are several photos of the first few days the team was on the ground building the future of Shared Blessings:
