Costa Rica - Monday Report
The group seems to be working really well together we have had many highlights of the day. Tom has learned the magic touch when it comes to stuccoing along with Cathy and their assistant foreman Leandro. Doug and Maxine were busy working with Jr all day building the front hall wall! A large part of the women in the group--Wendy, Mary, Emily, and Phoebe--were busy sifting pebbles out of sand all day to prepare it for the mortar! A endless task it seems, however greatly needed!! We also got to meet our cook on the work site today we picked up Monica on our way to the work site and she makes some amazing mashed potatoes. Phoebe accompanied Monica to the store and was able to help her pick out the different items we ate for lunch today. The day ended in the best possible way. We hosted a VBS for the children of the home and made many different little crafts including a mosaic, a caterpillar, and a Holy Spirit (Spiritus Sanctus) mobile! After the children had made their mobiles they all ran outside on the soccer field running around with their streamer mobiles. After craft time was over a soccer game emerged on the soccer field with two balls and people switching teams back and forth! The children went home with smiles as did our crew, however our smiles may be a little more tired. We all sat around talking about our favorite parts of the day as we prepare for tomorrow's adventure!!
