After our first day on the job, we were all a little tired last night and didn't manage to get anything written. But we did upload photos from our first two days to share with you all so you can see what we are getting to see down here.
The people are shy but friendly and the temperature is perfect for working and playing...until it started raining. The first half of our morning was dedicated to two teams working in two different areas, building homes. We quickly learned how to mix motar, apply it and lay cinderblocks to add the next couple levels on the walls of their future home. By home, imagine the smallest bedroom in your house, divide it in to two and call that a home. Seriously. Four people living in less than an 8x10 abode. I was very humbled by our first day.
After lunch, we began the first day of VBS with the kids. Over 60 kids between the ages of 4 and 12 showed up and it was total chaos but totally awesome! Endless fits of giggles surrounded us as we taught Bible stories, played games, made small bracelets, and served snacks with the kids. SO much fun! The icing on the cake was getting customary kisses on the cheeks with the "adios" as they left to go home. We were accepted.
Now please..look at the pictures from Day 1 here.
And the first half of Day 2 here.
