Second day on the job

We had a rough night last night. At about 12:30 am, the skies opened up and the rains came. It poured and popped a couple of tent poles. So, a bunch of people got up to help adjust the tents. We all had trouble getting back to sleep.

Once we got up, it was still sprinkling. We got a later start since food wasn't ready.

We did a little better today and got up to 6 on some walls. Still having trouble with the block--it is very brittle and has different heights.

We have a plan to complete with goals. We will see how we do tomorrow.

We also had some excitement today. The electric went out at around 4 pm. We worked as long as we could without being able to cut block. We have a generator but it wasn't working.

We cleaned up and went to clean up. At about 5 or so, Tim, one of the drilling crew, finally figured it out and got it running! It was a good thing because we wouldn't be able to take showers otherwise. They wired it to the pump and we got to take showers!

Tim, our shower saver!

We had a lot of prayer today about no rain and to get the power on. We ended up on a good note.

We may post more later.
