Wednesday

Today was certainly the middle of the week, a few people weren´t feeling well and we are getting physically tired.
The medical team was able to see 180+ people today in an area that is known to be very poor. They provided lunch for us, they had chicken, vegetables, rice, and bottled water and coke. Warren, the missionary that has been working with the medical team here said that this meal would have been like a Christmas dinner to the people of this church. The people were all so grateful that we were there.
The orphanage team layed slate in front of the coffee shop they have been working on, tiled one wall, and got an area ready to install sinks. They sanded and painted tables for the shop. They had lunch with the girls and had some time to play with them. Ben made a friend in Nicole, who is 5. She called him Mickey all day instead of Ben but she liked him so much that she gave him her stuffed animal at the end of the day.
At the water shed they were able to put a wall and a door up. They need to add a few more boards to the wall, but they ran out of nails. They continued to work on making shelves and work benches. Tomorrow they will focussing on putting bricks down as the flooring. The same lady has cooked lunch for them each day, today they had empenadas, which they said were really good.
Tonight we had dinner at Fridoline, which is the wonderful cake place across from our hotel.
Tomorrow the medical team will be going to the orphanage with the orphanage team and the water shed team will go back out there.
