Currently, we are on our second day of hardcore work here in the Dominican Republic! The last two days have consisted of mixing cement, which for the cement mixing you may be thinking of...nothing like it in the States. We break off into 5 groups: 1 group is shoveling gravel into buckets, another shoveling dirt, one is passing water, another opening bags of cement and passing it to the mixer, and the last group is wheel-barrowing it to where it is needed. About 25 mixes is used to fill one pylons (8x8x3ft) of the kitchen, and there are 22 total. That is 100 wheelbarrows to fill one! We have a very strong team, however, who are determined to get a lot done! The size of the building we are working on is a little bigger than MCRC's multi-purpose room. The guys are hardworkers, literally running wheel-barrows to dump them into the pylons.
We are all doing well, and there have been no major injuries or illnesses. Only minor bumps, scrapes and bruises! God has been good in providing the breeze when we need it the most.
Hopefully we'll be getting some pictures up soon!
Thanks again for all of your support and prayers back home! Know we are all doing great!
