We had devotional at the Rock this morning, and then Marc announced where the group was going to be able to go today: 4 people to finish the house in Ojojona, a crew to the hospital, a crew to feed at the dump, an evangelism crew, a crew to work on another school building in Nuevo Oriental, and two house crews to work in Los Pinos. A lot of people going a lot of different directions today. I didn't get to get on the crew to go finish in Ojojona... which I wasn't that upset about... But, I did find it funny that all of them were asking how to do stuff since I wouldn't be there, and they had to have more people come finish it that afternoon ("Maybe we should have included the crew leader after all..."). I was going to go work on house crews in Los Pinos, but there were a million people already on the bus, so I decided to go and work in Nuevo Oriental today.
We mixed cement, pick-axed dirt and rock, and passed cement blocks all day. I took Sean and Daniel Russell to get some eggs, ham, and creme, rolled in a tortilla, from one of my friends there for lunch. I bragged on the food to them all morning, and, sure enough, they thought it was amazing. Then we went back to work, and stayed there until about 4:30. We got Marlon to take us to the supermarket and everyone loaded up and some good sodas and sweets, and then we went back to the mission house. I hung out with Bon Boni, Daniel, and Sean for a little while, and then the rest of the groups got back and we had some amazing dinner. Then a whole bunch of us from Starkville played Apples to Apples before devo.
It's been a long summer, with a lot of problems and drama and exhausting work... But having my group here... Helps a lot.
