Our day took on various flavors. It started with a breakfast of a variety of fruits along with Gloria's Dominican oatmeal. The van was loaded and we were off to the job-site.
We spent the morning tearing apart the forms on the bond beams on the north side of the church, to reassemble them on the south side of the building. The cement was mixed and another bucket brigade was formed to pour those bond beams. Preps were also being done for upcoming work. The sun was out, the drizzle was coming down. The team working along side the Haitian church members worked hard for a long morning. We will complete the bond beams tomorrow and turn to rafters and the roof. We find that we are learning a little more Spanish and a little more about the people we are working alongside. They are also wanting to learn English and learn a little more about us as we work together
After our noon lunch, our afternoon was spent at a local hotel with a pool. It was nice to have a little time to refresh and regroup after a couple of hard days on our mission. Our time was spent enjoying the pool's slide and the stunts that could be done on it. Again the sun was out, then not. Again it decided to drizzle and the cycle continued for the afternoon.
Our devotions brought us to the book of James.
