Today in Remoleno things continued to be difficult with our pumps and engines, however God is good all the time! The reaming went well once we had circulation. The casing was set by lunch as we had hoped. We spent the afternoon developing the well. Gravel was put down the hole outside the casing to prevent clogging. Chlorinated water was pumped in to rinse and clean it out, and then a plunger was attached to the drill stem and run down the well to again run water in and out of the screen. We blew air in to develop a bit of pressure and clean it out again. Concrete was mixed to seal the hole. The well is a good well, there appears to be water about 17 below the ground and the casing goes down 100feet! We will know more tomorrow about how much water it can produce but things look promising. Many of the ladies on the Hygiene team went to the river where the local people had been getting the water they use. This was an eye opening experience.
Tomorrow will be spent completing and dedicating the well and we are headed back to La Ceiba. We have all experienced growth and gone outside of our comfort zone, whatever that may be for each person. Some of us worked on the well that would not have normally been mechanically inclined. Some of us lead devotions or did the blessing for a meal. Many of us attempted to speak Spanish. We all have shared a piece of our selves with each other and with the people of Honduras. Tomorrow is going to be hard as we say good bye to the people we have come to love.
Sorry not photos yet internet is very slow and waiting for unsuccessful uploads have taken several hours. Will have lots to show when we return.
All the time God is good.
