I confess this is Bethany, Eli's wife, writing the bridge update this week. Eli and Phil have been working so hard and making such great progress this week that I wanted to be sure to share the news with those of you who check up on the progress and pray for this project.
Forgive me since I don't know all the correct lingo. This has been a critical week. The stubborn rock that's been giving them so much pain, finally came out enough to the point that they could put the deadman anchor in on that side. What victory! Last week our whole SIM Yabus team gathered at the rock to pray for God to remove it in His time. What a joy to see Him do it so soon. Just when Eli and Phil will starting to wonder if it would ever come out.
So today they poured the concrete for the second deadman anchor. All it needs is a week to set and they'll be ready to stretch the cables across the water! That will be another great day for taking pictures and letting you know of more progress.
It's still amazing to me that this bridge is becoming a reality. All I can say is: God is AWESOME! He does what He wants His way. Eli and I never would have dreamed we'd be building a bridge of all things, when we first arrived in Sudan. It's been a stretching and rewarding journey.
