On the run...

So today was like any other day, started bright and early at 7 in the morning with a delicious breakfast of Mo's favorite(oatmeal cake thing). After we all finished eating we devoted and then loaded up the bus for another great day in San Jose. When we all got there we all got to work. Today was the day that we started to build the walls of the house, me, and morgan teamed up as one block laying team, while doc john and chris made up another team. We only got to work on 2 of the walls today because that is all the foundation that we had poured.
We got 2 layers of both of those walls done before it was time to break for lunch. Which was a delicious pasta salad with ham and cheese. It was good, like all the food is here. Once we got done eating our lunch it was time to head back to work, We split the team up into 2 groups, one for each of the houses that we are working on. They dug a trench around the first house to help with drainage, then poured part of the concrete for the roof, so that we can put the tin up tomorrow. The block layers got back to laying the bricks for the second house which was good.
Overall we got half of 2 of the walls done of the second house, a very successful day. Once we had the walls up we pouring the rest of the foundation. As we were passing the buckets of cement along I was trying to teach Ashley(one of the girls on the team) how to chew sunflower seeds correctly, which was a hilarious experience, but she eventually got the hang of it. Sunflower seeds have become a staple on the worksite. As we were leaving Candace(one of the leaders of the college trip) almost knocked over one of the sections, but all was saved thanks to some quick thinking by Doc John and Holly.
One of the coolest moments of the day was after we had finished pouring the concrete for the 1st house we had some left over so we made a little plaque out of the left over concrete. It was awesome to see the joy on their faces as they stuck there hands in the wet cement, as this was a step closer to getting into their new house. It was awesome.
When we got back to the house we had one of my favorite meals, Lemon Chicken, it was delicious as always. After we finished eating everybody went to take showers and clean up before devotions started, which were awesome as always. Now everybody is just hanging out until lights out at 10. So I am off to be social. Tomorrow we are heading to Chinadega in the afternoon for the weekend trip so it should be fun.

Love you all
