Today is always one of the most gratifying workdays for several reasons:1. The most visible change occurs, as the house acquires a roof, windows, rough walls, and a door.
2. Everyone likes working up on the roof, except for Pancho of course (see yesterday´s entry).
3. There is no manual cement mixing.
4. It is one of the lighter workdays, and oftentimes groups have a longer afternoon back at the ranch to spend with the boys.
The day went fairly smoothly on all fronts. Several groups were back by 4 pm and were able to relax, take bucket showers, and play some soccer, volleyball, and basketball before dinner. Evening prayers began just as the evening sun was illuminating the sky over the ocean, and were followed by a discussion of the factors that contribute to poverty in Mexico, led by our other favorite Canadian Mike Applegate. Overall, a day well spent.
