Bob! You do amaze me! I think that you are totally blind, or near enough
to being so aren't you?
People often say to me that they are *amazed at the things I achieve, and
often, to be frank, when I look at something that I have built years ago, I,
too, am amazed, and wonder how I did it, but when I read of the things you,
and many others on this list do, I am completely blown away!

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Hungary mission trip
> I made it back in very good spirit and a little under the weather.
> What I had done on this trip wasn't very hard again mentally, just
> physical. The first 2 days I painted 2 basketball courts, white lines to
> mark everything on the blacktop.
> The next day I did a little painting in the entrance of their main
> conference building and sanctuary. The rest of the week I did spackling
> in the sanctuary of corners that needed rebuilt and nicks and dings in the
> walls.
> The following week I had rope climbing duty, cargo nets and swing duty
> with the kids. It rained the whole week so that didn't amount to much.
> Since day one of the second week was such a loss I did remodeling in a
> house there when it rained. I hard spackled an entire house, kitchen,
> dinning living, entrance and bathroom, all but one room. Only 90 minutes
> till the hard spackle turns as hard as a cinder block. The homes are made
> of 6 inch square hard baked ceramic blocks, covered with cement. All
> electrical gets bonded on that and than everything is hard spackled to
> make the wall entirely flush. My first coat was at a lot of places over
> an inch and a quarter thick. Second coats were thinner and corners were
> done one side at a time. One guy mixed the hard spackle in a 2 and a half
> gallon bucket. Friday, the last day I did third coat where needed,
> finished the corners and door ways.
> I have been invited back again to do an entire house after the outside
> structure and roof are in place. This house like the one I just worked on
> will house long term missionaries. I will also be allowed to live in town
> entirely with the nationals, which I consider great if you really want to
> get to know the people.
> The work was hard on the body. I did manage to gain a little weight.
> They do like deserts over there and the supply and variety was almost
> endless. After supper every night I was invited out for more deserts and
> ice cream. all in all, I ate as hard as I worked.
> All of this was in support of the Christian children's camp held all
> summer. It is also a campus of the Bible College there for the purpose of
> teaching missionaries to make disciples for Jesus Christ Our Lord. It was
> a honor to have just a tiny part in this work.
