Tomorrow we pour two concrete floors in the two houses we are working at....hopfully it will be a bit cooler for that ....the team worked very hard today despite the heat! At the grandma's house, the lime green house, the team had help from Jaycer - around 8 years old - who worked harder than the adults and was rewarded by Gordy buying him an ice cream cone!!! (Betsy also got an ice cream cone to celebrate her 49th birthday!!!)
At the other house, most of the inside walls are done and will be pouring the floor tomorrow afternoon - yeah God!! There were many amazing conversations with our Peruvian team leaders and.....a little fun as Sheri was flinging mud at Luco - the two youngest of our teams....to make him laugh as he is a very serious and dedicated worker.....There were many laughs to be had as the Peruvians watched us fling mud everywhere but the walls!
Praise God!!!! All of our team made it to dinner together tonight!!! Afterwards, we went bicycle shopping for a bike for Felix - who is a local pastor in the district (Grocio Prado) in which we are working and he needs a faster way to get around as he works with Gordy and Bear on the projects but also helping with church planting in Grocio Prado. We as a team have chosen to each pool our money to purchase the bike for Felix.
Quotes for the day....
