Wonderful Wednesday

Up at the El Cercado School, the work crew logged in another hard day on the construction site. The regular crew of Jerry, Dan, and Matt were joined today by Tricia, Derek, and Elizabeth Kline. We continued applying stucco to the outside walls of the Kitchen building; made rebar "cages" to go into the concrete forms above the windows and doors; and prepared the floor for concrete tomorrow. We also moved a big pile of fill dirt into the low spots in the Dining Room area to level out the base of that room.
The pastor's wife prepared another fabulous meal for us at lunch. Today was the obiligatory rice and beans, plus a beef cannoloni dish, fresh tomatoes, cucumber, cabbage, and fried breaded yucca. It was delicioso! Jerrry brought up some frisbees today for our little boy helpers, who have been keeping us company this whole week. They loved those almost as much as the baseballs, gloves and bat that Jerry gave to them yesterday. We asked one of the boys- Angel- what he did with his baseball glove, and he said it was back at his casa. Tomorrow they'll get some clothes and shoes! Not as much fun, but badly needed.
The VBS crew faced the monumental task of organizing and trying to manage the nearly two hundred kids who showed up today. Despite the large number of kids, we were able to pull a very successful and fun day of singing, crafts, sports and puppet shows. It was amazing to watch each member of our VBS crew fulfilling their role and contributing in different ways. It was another very exhausting, yet rewarding day at VBS.
