So today was the last work day for the Snellville Youth Team, and it started like any other day which was a 7 with a breakfast of Mo's favorite the oatmeal cake thing, it was good. We all then headed to San Jose to continue to work on the house. Me and Mo rode in the back of the truck, NICA style, and it was a lot of fun. So once we got there, we got straight to work. Me and Raf got to work placing the concrete for the rebar at the top of one of the walls. After we had finished that we got to work working with the floor and the remaining wall.
Morgan and Chris were in front of the school cutting the blocks in half so that it would be easier for them to be carried back to the house. This went of for like the next few hours until lunch. When it was time for lunch we all headed back to the church and had a delicious lunch of meatballs and rice. Yum Yum.
Once we had all gotten our fill of food we headed back to work, which was controlled chaos at once point, with Stuart and Mark laying one half of the wall and me laying the other half. All of the pieces had to be special sizes so we were both yelling out measurement, over the sound of the generator, to Morgan and Raf who were the designated cutters. The wall went up fairly quickly but then it came time to pour the concrete on the top of the back wall and down the supports, whch was a pretty funny sight to witness.
Once we had finished that, Manuel, Chico, and Manuel's helper got right to work placing the supports for the roof while the rest of us made the finishing touches on the floor and the rebar on top of the newly finished wall. There was a scary moment when Jarred went up to the wall and went to step and placed his weight on the newly placed wall, which cant support weight and it nearly fell over, which would have been awful. But luckily it did not fall over. Needless to say Jarred was rather relieved.
Once we got back to the team house Lesbia and the women of the kitchen had a delicious meal of breaded chicken breast, rice, and mashed potatoes. So good. After dinner we all got cleaned up and the youth team did there evening devotion which was really good. By the time that was over with it was time for everybody to go to bed, which is where I need to head now cause tomorrow we have their tour day which is always a long day. But it will be good So I off to bed then.
Love you all
