Here is a view of the front of the building. As you can see, the roofing supports are nearly complete on the chapel, and walls are being constructed on the second and third floors.


Here is a picture of one of the workers smoothing the stucco in one of the second floor staff apartments.


This picture shows the tile that is being laid on the front walkway of the school. It stretches the length of the school, and the workers continue to cut and lay the tile for the rest of the front walkway.


This picture shows one of the workers laying the pipe in what will be one of the missionary apartments on the western side of the building. After the pipe is laid, cement and the bathroom tile will be laid to complete the bathroom.


Also in the same apartment, workers are cutting and laying the rest of the floor tile. Here is one of the workers installing a floor tile in one of the bedrooms.


The chapel's roof is nearing completion as is the interior of the chapel. The windows have been installed and the stage is being prepared.
