Tuesday!

Just Got in from another great day! Elizabeth stayed at the hotel today cause she is a little sick, but much better now! We had a group go to the childrens hospital and spend time with all the sick kids... very hard, i will have one blog about this later. We (Me, Chris G, Gordy and Dave) went to La Magnelana to work on the school building. We started laying block and made much progress. At lunch we invited all the workers to eat with us and they enjoyed it so much! They talked about us and Jesus and what is happening in there life... I am going now because our ride just got here to go to dinner... i will be back later! Ok, Back but it is actually the next day.. We went to a great restaurant last night called Lover's Steakhouse in downtown.. those who have been here before know how great it is! It was 12 midnight when we got in last night... yes that is 1 am for the east coast people.... wow. Now back to what we did yesterday... In La Magnelana we have finished the foundation work and started laying the blocks, we are about two high all the way around and have interior walls going up as well for the classrooms. Thier are many people working on the school building and more coming (volunteering) each and every day. It looks like a swarm of bees with people going everywhere. We mix the concrete on the ground and it is very hard, about 2 yards at a time... great for the back and shoulders.. Of course they are never too tired for a game of soccer. Even chris Gilhouse was playing yesterday until he landed on his back, was down for about 2 mins then played again 10 mins later.... Have a great day and thank you for your prayers! Love ya! Raymond <><
