Day 6
When we got to the construction site we got right to work and my dad, mom, and Chuck were doing concrete and I was in the bathroom learning how to put mortar on the tiles. The others did 6 loads of concrete today. They expect that they will be done with all of the patio before lunch tomorrow and I think that everyone was glad to hear that. After we were all done with the work for the day we went back to the apartment and took our showers and the other research team and Alfredo and everybody here sat down and talked about stuff and me and Daniel were doing alot of everthing. Alfredo and Daniel left and we all got ready to go play some football (soccer). We started at 6:30 and played until 8:30. We had 4 teams that were playing and we switched off and who ever scored one they got to stay in and the other team left and a different team went in to try to beat the team that scored. It is Sabrina's birthday and she turned 21, so on the way home we stoped to get some ice cream and it is very good. We got back to the apartment and we are now resting and getting ready to go to bed!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Zach! You are WANTING to go to bed??? You must be tired! Sounds like you are working hard and playing hard. So glad that all of you are giving so much of yourselves to this work-- enouraging the rest of us to do the same!
ReplyDeleteOne of today's Proverbs says "He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses." May you all lack nothing and be blessed beyond measure as you give to these orphans and the community!
Much Love,
Denise the Older :P
Hi all. I love reading about what you have been doing, but sad that Cory and I are not there doing it with you. What an amazing week it sounds like you are having. We are praying for you daily. Tell Alfredo that we will see him in January!

Hi Daddy! We miss you so much and can't wait to see what new pictures there are of you. You're getting really, really dirty! Caleb wants to know why you threw Zach in the pool with his shirt on? Camryn wants to know why Marisol took a picture of your feet? We would like to meet all of your new friends someday. We miss you and pray for you and the orphans every night.
ReplyDeleteWe love you!
Camryn and Caleb
