Friday night in Cochabamba

WOW, where to begin, WE MADE IT! The people here are awesome, the food that Delhia cooks for us is fantastic. The Luce de Vida ladies are all so happy to see us. We have worked for two days and the work is hard. Everything is done manually. We have mixed concrete, 2 buckets sand, 2 buckets rock, 1 bucket water, 1 bucket cement. We moved two massive rock piles, a new wooden foot bridge over a drainage ditch was built. I think everyone is tired and sore. We have no internet access, except tonight Sarah and Michelle, lead by Priscilla and Ruth, Delhia´s daughters have walked us 3 blocks away to a local internet spot. There are 30 computers here and they are all full. Almost no one has internet in their home. We are staying in the parsonage of the El Salvadore Methodist church. The preacher has his own home so the parsonage was empty. At the last minute they could not accomodate us at the American Institute due to 80 pastors coming to town for a conference. It has worked out very well for us to be where we are, the rooms are much warmer and we have a little shorter distance to travel to our work site. Sunday we will go to worship at 8:30 am at Luce de Vida and then at 11:00 at Emmanual. We have so much to accomplish and such a short time to finish everything. Don´t know when we will be able to post again. Vickie
