June 16th - Work Day #1

We have just returned from the village of El Ocote where we completed five new latrines. When we arrived this morning, the school children all welcomed us with a couple songs, then we sang a song and introduced ourselves. It was great to see friends among the villagers who we had met and worked with last year. This is our second year in El Ocote.
Part of our group held bible school in the morning and the afternoon but since it rained on and off all day, they didn't get a chance to play outside with the children.
The rain also made the work sites large mud holes but as I said before, we completed the day's projects. We brought back what feels like a couple hundred lbs of mud on our clothes and shoes so we're in the process of getting clean. We will be back at it tomorrow. Thank you for your prayers.
