Day 3: First Day of Work

Wednesday. Well, today Robert, Chuck, and I got up at 6 am to make breakfast. We made sausages and eggs, very yummy indeed. At 7:30 we left the compound to go thirty minutes to work with some of the community members. We hauled small rocks down and walked back up a very steep trail for about four hours. It was very exhausting work but with God behind us, we were abel to sustain teh strenth to be able to continue. At noon, we were able to travel back to the compound and minister to the kids. You would think that we were tired and yes we were, but I tell you, there is nothing more refreshing than spending your time pouring out your love toward the kids. We played all afternoon, nonstop until supper. Then we ate dinner and hung out for a while before going to a church service. We really didn't understand what they were saying but we all serve the same God and that is all that truly matters. It was truly an amazing experience and very refreshing. After church we went back to our compound, and closed our eyes until Carlen went to the bathroom and woke a sleeping dog!
