The constructions group had a hard day ahead of them but conquered it gracefully! They put in the door that leads to where the new wash area will be in the morning. In the afternoon, construction began on assembling the ceiling inside of Pastor Minor house. To picture what it looked like before this, picture your living room and kitchen without a ceiling. This was a much needed change.
The other group set out around the community to remind and invite children to the afternoon activities. When we returned to the church, we were put to work cleaning the outside of the church. Surrounding the church was a lot of discarded, used and broken, construction materials and trash. It was during this time that we discovered Costa Rica's cockroach. I promise you I will only tell the truth here on this blog! It was larger than the South Carolina palmetto bugs! In fact, it puts the palmetto bug to shame! 😱 See below! Once we collected ourselves from unexpected guests and had Andres presearch our cleaning area, we continued on our clean up journey! We finished just in time to take a short rest before the children came! Stacy and Andres, once again, entertained and taught an engaging lesson on Joseph. Unfortunately today, we were unable to go to the plaza to play with the children. We could not go because of all the rain. Naturally, we found ways to have fun around the church. Sarah and Caitlin found mud to play and/or slip in. Lee and Validia (a new little Tica friend) jumped in puddles together. Conversations were ahd and new bonds of friendship were created.
The night ended with dinner at the hotel and a moving devotion lead by Pastor Minor.
Gracias para los oraciónes y soporte!
