A Terrific Tuesday

 
We had a busy and fun day yesterday (Tuesday).  So busy that I didn't have time until this morning to write this update.
 
First, where I left off on Monday's update.  We had a great chicken fajita dinner then our normal series of meetings as I described on Sunday night's report.  We then had another fantastic worship experience and then spent some time writing cards for some of the members of our work-site crews telling them how much they mean to us.
 
Tuesday morning started with breakfast at 6:30 then devotions as usual.  After arriving at the colonia church we split up into our teams and headed to our work-sites.  During the day, the four house teams got all four walls built and almost all of them standing up.  Two sites also painted two walls each because their tight quarters won't enable them to get behind the walls to paint them later.
 
The guys on the team at the church finished building the other two concrete pillars that will later support a second floor for the church.  The gals on the church team changed the color of the church from dirty red to seafoam green.  The rough surface of these concrete walls made it tough to get a good painting without having to go back with lots of touch-ups.
 
The only "injury" we had on Tuesday was when Kevin hit a nail and a tiny flake from the nail flew up and landed on his lip.  It was hot so he made a little dance.  He's now know as "Hot Lips" on his team.
 
The other typical daily events were also part of Tuesday – VBS (we had around 70 kids), fun in the pool, etc.  We didn't have any meetings since today is our off-day as we go to shop in Progresso.
 
Since we had a little extra time yesterday afternoon, we took a walk down to Soriana, the "Super-Target" kind of store down the block.  Many loaded up on Joyas – the Mexican soda made out of real sugar.  Others found other helpful forms of sugar and other snacks.
 
Later last night we had another great worship experience and shared Holy Communion in our work-groups.
