Building churches in Peru....fast

In the last half of February i went with a group to build 3 churches up the Ucayali river. It was a tough week with the heat - 80 to 100 degrees day and night. Each 24x36 building cost about $5000 each for materials. The first took about 18hrs., the second 16, and the third took 12hrs. to build. The lumber was heavy and all cut with chain saws!
Prayer time. No one was injured in the making of these photos or from building
