We would just like to apologize for not blogging yesterday. After we got back from our long day there was just sooo much going on and so...yeah. Our bad. So maybe we should go over yesterday before we move onto today. Yesterday we woke up, got dressed, and piled into one of the vans. We went back to Hastings Primary School to do some construction work. We were supposed to do construction work on Monday, but they weren't ready for us. So, we did it yesterday. We mixed, poured, spread, and moved concrete all morning. A huge assembly line was formed as bucket after bucket of gravel, sand, dirt, and water were passed down the line. Everyone had a job. We mixed the concrete and poured a ton of it on the roof. Half of the roof needed to be done. We finished half of that. (For those of you who have trouble with math - we have a fourth of the roof to go. We will do that tomorrow). Most of the group was at the school working on the roof, but a few of us went over to a old man's house to work on some more (but different) concrete stuff. This was the same house some of us worked on on Monday. We mixed finishing concrete. Then, we flashed (threw it at the wall... harder than it looks...) and rendered (smooth the wall out with the finishing concrete). We were able to get a ton done. They are now able to paint the wall. They said that they would do that today... That was very exciting for last year's team; they had worked really hard on that house last year. Now it is almost done. God is very good. After lunch at the school, we left for the girls home. We had been told that the girls might be "aggressive" towards some of the guys. The leaders had told the boys to stay in the back and let the females in the group sort of "lead." As soon as we get to the home there is music inside the building. As soon as we start painting nails, the girls opened up sooo much! It was truly amazing! The boys let the girls paint their fingernails and paint their faces. It was awesome. God was at work so much that day. We came back. Had dinner. Team meeting. Prayed. Went to bed. it was an awesome day. Day 3 here in a sec... -OHills Jamaica Team
