Costa Rica - Wednesday Report

Costa Rica Wednesday report

What a day! Warm sunshine, good people, lovely children and enough concrete made and poured to sink a navy. Great progress is being made on the walls Leandro is pushing his team (Tom, Cathy, Jim, and Emily) to work faster and faster so the blocks are flying in place. Wendy, Maxine, and Doug are making and pouring concrete into forms that are topping off the walls. Mary is doing most of the shoveling to keep the buckets full of sand, and rock for the making of the concrete. Roger and Jack continue as our electricians (more like sculptors since they have to chisel the holes into the block to place the electrical boxes). And Phoebe continues to organize our lovely lunches and is known to have a shovel in her hand when needed.

It was actually an exhausting day. We cut off a little early to do Vacation Bible School with the kids at Mount of Olives Methodist Church. We had about 25 children, and they loved the crafts Wendy had planned.

Tomorrow it appears will be a day of more block laying and concrete pouring and electrical box placing. We are becoming quite professional. We are definitely sleeping well.

Blessings from Costa Rica,
Doug and Jack
