Work Day 2

We started off the morning by visiting Nueva Esperanza.  We saw the finished product from our work last summer.  When we pulled into the town, we saw a PE class using the field playing soccer.  Last year we saw the same teacher teaching his class in the street, so we saw first hand the difference it was making.  We recognized several of the children we met last year, which was really neat.

We continued on to Panematsalem, and continued work on the field there, leveling the ground, moving rock and sand, mixing concrete by hand, and carting it to squares being prepared by others.  Doing God's work is a very tiring task.






We are in the rainy season here.  It cut our day short at about 4:30, which was a welcome relief.  It rained again quite heavily in the evening while we were eating dinner.  Luckily the hotel has some great places to congregate and stay out of the rain.  Much like Indiana, weather can be difficult to predict, and changes quickly.
