Hello,

So I was informed that my first post a few days ago did not actually post until a few minutes ago, woops.  Our group is still kicking!  We have accomplished so much this week and have worked really hard.  We wake up super early, work for the morning, go to lunch, then work some more in the afternoon.  It makes for a long day, but we all know the final product is more than worth it.  Today we finished a task that had started on Monday and required a great deal of time and patience.  This particular task was washing the tiles from the roof.  There were probably 500 or so of them, and it was a colaborative effort; even from the kids in the community. 

Carlos came yesterday, and he has taken control of the filming of our work, which is really great!  Today he filmed us knocking  down a wall, let´s just say it was crazy!!  We are working on schedule, which is great.  Tonight we are all going to spend the night with families from the community, something that I am really looking forward to.  Tomorrow we are going to a Futbol game, which I have heard are wild!  We are always staying busy and having a good time.  I am off to lunch!

 

Tchau

    Sara, Jerry and Caroline,

    I can't even imagine cleaning 500 roof tiles. I'm sure the new roof looks nice. How was your stay with a host family?
    I know you all are very busy so I will say good-bye.
    Love you Blondie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
