Today was our fourth day on the job site and the crews were able to switch up on their projects. Team USA took over on the roof and re shingled the portion that team Pasta cleared earlier. Team Germany went to the "yellow house" and took over for team Chile with putting up wall boards and installing a shower in the bathroom. Team France and team Pasta were busy inside the "blue house" framing out the walls in two rooms to ready them for dry wall. Our wonderful kitchen crew not only prepares great meals for us but brought bags of food for the multiple cats at the job site. Literally, there are millions of cats and kittens here running all over the place! Don't be surprised If your child tries to sneak one home. They are hard to resist!
The day was topped off with fun and fellowship while having dinner with the youth group of Christ St. Paul's and going for a refreshing swim.
It is hard to believe that we only have one more day on our projects. The kids are doing so well and it has not been easy work. They are learning so much more than just how to hammer in a nail or cut a piece of wood. The ability to come together and experience a totally foreign environment and disconnect from their daily normal routine has allowed them to focus on spiritual growth. They have been challenged to explore their faith and the calling to help and serve others and have accepted the challenge head on, full force. They have come together as a group and are truly making a difference!
