The past few days we have been in the trenches...literally. We have been digging the foundation of the new church building under the sweltering Caribbean sun. While that sounds like it would be unbearable, it isn't. We have been able to build great relationships with the Dominican workers even though we don't speak the same language. They are patient in showing us what to do and are quick to remind us to take water breaks. Yesterday a group of neighborhood boys were making comments to us. Despite not knowing what they were saying, I could tell from their tones that they were not encouraging in nature. When one of the Dominican workers heard them, he walked over to the fence and reamed them out. They left shortly after.
Despite the hard work, no one is complaining at the end of the day. There are no bad attitudes and everyone is excited to continue the work. That being said, we are all kind of glad there are nothing but cold showers at the end of the day.
