The Blog I Never Sent Tuesday

Arrived in La Tremblay today and moved into the ecole (school) run by the UMC here. Walked down to the eglise (church) and started work. We moved sand into the structure and approximately 350 concrete blocks 40 feet through a four foot high window and up scaffolding to the roof (2nd story floor) to prepare to build walls and complete the balcony level. We did that in 5 hours including frequent breaks and lunch. The bucket showers (pours) really felt great - HA! I know everyone worked hard and are extremely tired. We will have a longer day tomorrow so we will see how that goes. Early to bed tonight. Also, tonight and tomorrow is the Voodoo celebration of Halloween so it has definitely been interesting to see (and hear!) the people party (not all do though). All is well, talk to you tomorrow. Prayers!
