Day 5 - Trenches, Sweat, Big Rocks

Last night we got to hear from Mrs. Greenwood and her personal testomony. So blessed to hear from her.
We woke up early even though everyone was a bit sore from the work on day 4. We headed off to the clinic and we started digging trenches, moving some rocks, and pushed a school bus. 1 feet wide and 2 feet deep. That took most of the morning. We all took a lunch break and then back to work we went. More trenches. Filled in some holes. Carried some rocks. Traveled to the rock slate canyon and filled up the truck with the future flooring of the clinic. Next time we come we will get to see the flooring of 10 to 50 pound rocks that we all helped to offload and reload.

Tonight, we are sponsoring a pizza party for the kids. We hired a pizza man who is making 60 pizzas for all.

Later tonight we'll hear from one of the directors DJ and have some downtime before he head off in the morning.

Everyone is healthy and well. Tired and sore but the aches feel good knowing that we were able to serve the Lord, the missionaries and the kids here.

Went to bed somewhat early last night (10 pm). Team meeting after dinner involved some reflection on the day and a testimony from Mr. Choi. In the morning, after enjoying breakfast together we headed off to Elim Church to hear a bilingual service. We enjoyed some delicious sopas from the church ladies. Caught a local baseball game outside. Then we got to meet Brendan and Sarah, medical missionaries who direct Siloe Ministries. They are full time folks who provide medical needs for the locals here. We'll be partnering with them as we do some painting, sanding and minor contruction work. After a tour of their current two room clinic and their future 1 acre facility, we headed back to Door of Faith where we got hang out with the children. Some of the students got to see the 11 infants while many others played basketball, soccer, jump rump, and other activities on campus. Dinner will be provided by the pastors wife and we'll have our evening meeting soon afterwards. ...

We then headed off to Ensenada and had lunch in our usual spot (Taqueria Flamaste). The owner recognized us and even gave us a tshirt. Then we headed down south and did some flea market shopping and raided Starbucks. After a quick stop at the supermarket, we had some downtime at the beach. Tonight we'll have a late meeting but we'll get some good sleep for a longer day of serving the people.
