I know I could say something like, we worked way harder today than we did yesterday, but I can't. The other team can say that...but I can't. We split into two teams again today and our group did mostly the same thing as yesterday...only much much slower. Put up floor joists overhead so they can pour a cement floor for this soon to be two story building. It was another day of holding beams over our heads while one side fastened it and the other tried to keep it from wiggling free and falling and hurting someone. Aside from a couple scratches, we were relatively unscathed. Neither Mike nor I knew we were bleeding until someone pointed it out. Must be a leader trait.
The other group went into the next town to help build a house for a pastor. There were other teams helping to do this but they wanted a little more help. They pitched in with gusto! I saw one picture of them putting up the center beam for a roof. Not the ceiling...the apex of the roof! Now, I wasn't there, but I can assure you that at least one member of that team has super powers. (no more excuses for not taking out the trash) Their time with tools in their hands was a bit shorter than ours simply because we merely had to walk to our job site and they had to drive half an hour, and plan on half an hour to get back for dinner.
We all were happy to see that it was quitting time and then we went off to enjoy another wonderful meal. I believe you would call this Mexican tortilla lasagna. It was pretty good...and it was probably better with the cream sauce they poured over it. I don't know, I'm trying to lose some pounds. Yes, even in Mexico.
Tomorrow is a big day. We go to the church service at the church we have been doing VBS with. Seth will be preaching and two of the kids will be giving their testimony. I'm proud of our youth. They are ready and willing to volunteer for things as they come up. Dishwashing maybe takes a little longer to get volunteers but we have never had to appoint people. Usually we have more than enough people to do whatever job arises.
I haven't had any of the youth offer again to write in the blog. I'll try to get the people to join in the fun tomorrow. Not sure they'll be able to, as it will be a pretty busy day. I'll keep trying though.
Well I just nodded off and typed a few rows of "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS..." This does not mean that I am subliminally trying to tell you that we saw a snake. It merely means that I am officially wiped out and should probably go to bed. Good Night everyone! Just a couple more dayssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
