Costa Rica - Monday






















Today was our first day at the construction site. In Costa Rica, construction is primarily concrete because of earthquakes. So, today we bent and tied rebar, mixed and poured concrete, and put mortar between cement blocks. Many of us learned new things today, including that we're glad that we don't have to do this every day.

After another delicious lunch, we were off to VBS at the Iglesia Evangelica Metodista Rios de Agua Viva. (the Rivers of Living Water Evangelical Methodist Church) We sang songs and performed a skit about creation. Then we split the kids into 5 groups and they rotated thru 5 stations. 3 crafts, a snack and games. The kids were very cute. Some were a little shy at first, but they all had a good time.
