well... it's now 10:50pm and we are back at the hotel in Berkovitsa. We drove to Borovtsi and all power was out from the storm (with no idea when the power will be back). It was sort of cool... no lights except for flashlights... workers gathered together around the front door (that is now in!) and our group gathered together in the hall behind them... singing... praying...
although our plans have changed... we still give God the glory for all things. Judy seems to not be stressed out by the set back (we could have worked all night to get this place together) - but continue to keep her and Paul in your prayers for tomorrow - it's a big day for them.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow... we give Him the glory for the Center and for the work we do for it.
although some may not find too much praise in us getting up at the crack of dawn, we will continue to work and finish what we can. We will get to the center around 6am... the opening is at 11am (4am EST).
talk with you then... going to get a quick night's sleep.
Love to all,

a long night ahead...
We just have a quick moment to write...
We started this morning by leaving the hotel at 8am. We have painted, sanded, dusted, and done this and that all day. We got back to the hotel around 8pm and ate dinner that the hotel ladies cooked: lamb, red peppers, rice and liver, bread, and creme caramel. It was delious! At dinner the Holland European Union Parliamentarian ate with us. He is a Christian and supports Judy and Paul's ministries... it was quite the contrast though: he was wearing a suit and I was covered in paint (literally). Hmmmm.
We are now heading back to Borovtsi at 9pm. We will be there for a while I assume. There is a lot to do. It is no where near ready for the opening tomorrow, but we are all still going strong (well, a little tired).
It is storming outside... lightening and thundering. Nice to hear outside... but not good news for all the mud at the Center. We will talk with you later.
Blessings to all,
Rach (and Jim)
