We had a great, but wet day in Buena Vista Coracol. 10 of us went there first thing to build the one day church. We got the fram up in 3 hours and started on the roof at about 1 pm.
It was a beautiful day in the morning, but during lunch, a fog rolled in quick and the rain came shortly thereafter--a cold rain! We worked (slowly) through the rain and got one half of the roofing done. That took much longer than it normally would. Because of the rain, we couldn't walk on the roof. One of the Maranatha guys had to tie himself to a rope and crawl on the roof! It took over two hours just for that side.
The maranatha guys correctly said we shouldn't start the other side if we couldn't finish because it wouldn't hold without being complete. So, we helped clean up and left without it being finished. We are dissapointed, but know there is a reason for the rain!
The rest of the group stayed in Liquidambar and did a few other things like putting the roofcap, sign and steeple on. They also cleaned the church and put up pews for church tomorrow.
One of the deacons had wanted to play basketball with us since we visited with them in June. So, we had four of our team play against them today after they got done! It was a lot of fun, even though we beat them two games to none.
Our medical and dental had a very busy day as well, even though they had to wrap up early to pack up their equipment.
VBS had about 70 kids today as well. School wasn't in full session today either.
We are headed back to shower and have dinner--our last dinner and worship at the university.
