A short break

Unfortunately, this may be my last post here for a little bit. I have been recalled to my home monastery for a short stay. I am being told there is a special assignment there. I don't know for sure what the special assignment is, but I have heard rumors.

The main rumor is that I will be traveling to a new colony. This is an exotic and largely unexplored place. My only regret is not seeing this project come to completion.

I am leaving the painter behind to keep track if the progress so that either I or another scribe can continue this history.

Please pray for me in y new assignment and please pray for the continued work on the monastery.

The church at night

I need to talk to the painter about readjusting his schedule. He sleeps all day and paints all night. He said he like to do this to keep the contraction from messing up his work. The issue is you get the beautiful night skies, but not as much detail on the church.

In the last few days the Lord has blessed us mightily. The shell of the church has been completed and masons have done an amazing job. The peak is so high that during the day it has the appearance of scraping the clouds.

Here in this night painting you can see the torches used to light the road between the gatehouse and this new structure. You can see the wall around the portico you pass through to get inside. I'm hoping to get a painting of the garden in the Portico and the inside of the church once it is completed.

Please see the submission from the painter below.
