Hola!
Today was warmer. The night was cold but refreshing for a change from the stifling heat. Breakfast was good and Ray made us some delicious coffee to wake and warm us up!
Most of the bricks are done being laid for the church walls. The gable ends are up now as well and look really good. Ray and Pete continued working on the inner walls of the church. Francine and Carolyn worked on painting the church pews, along with one of the younger boys from the community, and managed to finish them all. At lunch they set out the ones from yesterday because they appeared dry, but unfortunately, some of them were a little wet in areas and a few bums stuck to the paint.
Lisa and Irene spooned for the morning and Francine and Carolyn the afternoon. The scaffolding is very high now and although it does not appear very strong at a glance, was secure and worked well!
The rafters were all cut and pieced together and needed painting as well. Carolyn and Francine painted and then the teachers came to visit and really wanted to help paint as well. Lisa and the teachers ended up almost finishing them all but ran out of paint so two rafters need to be painted later because the rafters are all going up tomorrow. Then someone will have to climb to the roof and paint them up there.

t lunch, Pete took on the very strong Francine in an arm wrestle and I’m sure you are all curious as to who won… :) Then two of the men from the community wanted to test Pete’s strength as well. They were both beat so they decided that if they could go together against him they could win. It was fun to watch! Carolyn and Lisa had an arm wrestle as well and it was stalemate for them for a long time!
Supper was chicken and rice with a salad. Lisa’s nursing skills came in handy when she cleaned and bandaged Hose’s knee (one of the men helping us build the church), which he had hurt badly in a game of futbol on Sunday. It was a relaxing evening.
Goodnight :)
