Day 6 - October 6th

October 6th wasn't too terribly exciting so this isn't going to be too long of a post.  This was going to be the third and final day of surveying.  We started off with the standard breakfast and then we got a list of things to survey.  We asked the other engineers what they needed to know on the site so that we had everything covered.  I did learn more about surveying even though we didn't have to work the entire day.  One of the highlights of the day was being followed by a bunch of kids.  Here is a picture of the situation.  
We had a devotional later in the day that was quite impactful to me.  The scripture reference was 1 Corinthians 12:12-31.  We are many members all part of the same body.  I was experiencing this in two ways that week.  First, I was part of a team of engineers and architects all working towards a common goal.  We all had different functions.  No one could have done all of the work by themselves.  It was great to see the teamwork throughout everyone on the team.  The second way that I saw this scripture working itself out is through the bigger picture of the ICM Burundi site.  We (the eMi team) were part of God working in Burundi.  I could see how Painito was coordinating lots of different things, how other important officials were getting other things to happen, and how we were providing the needed plans to make this site happen.  It is great to be part of a team.
