Let’s start off by saying that one thing we are sure of today is that everyone is going to rest well tonight!
We began our day with morning prayer and a small breakfast before getting started in the relative cool of the morning on our projects. Since we had to wait for the arrival of some material, many of us began our day helping to pull weeds around the “garden” of the Church, while a smaller group dedicated themselves to building new doors for the mission center.
As soon as our materials arrived, we got down to work mixing cement and then “spackling” the exterior walls of the mission center (with a little help from some of the kids from town.).
In the afternoon we had workshops to teach the children how to brush their teeth (their reward was candy), and English classes. And the afternoon wouldn’t be complete without the soccer and bracelets for the girls.
After Mass, Father and a group of the missionaries went to visit the sick of the town and bring them communion and on their way back met the man in town who owns a deer farm and got a tour.
Our night (sort of) ended with dinner on the roof and sharing our highs and lows of the day as well as something that we have learned from the culture here. We encourage you to ask about our experiences once we return!
Please keep us in your prayers!
