Measuring

Unbelievable.  And yet due to past experiences with these boys, believable.

On Tuesday we were excited to start measuring to begin our house construction.  Our planned trip to the U.S. has been postponed due to the coronavirus, so we decided to press on with construction instead.
The house site has been leveled and is
ready to go!
But after our construction workers helped us measure, the space seemed to be 4 cm too short in one dimension.  Odd and disturbing.  Later, when we went to investigate the measurements for ourselves, Michael discovered that the boys had made several small errors that added up.
Please pray that our workers will think and pay attention, and that we won't grow weary as we double-check their work.  As Michael aptly put it, "Not an auspicious beginning."  But with God's help we will soldier on!
