And we're done!

Today was the last work day for us. We got the rest of the foundation poured right around lunch time. Most of us were keeping the concrete flowing, the others were completing prep work for pouring the church floor. After lunch we all helped unload 200 some bags of concrete. Because of all the rain we have gotten in the last few days the truck couldn't make it up the steep driveway so everyone one moved the 42.5 kg (I think about 90lbs) bags of concrete up the hill and into the storage shed. We have indeed gotten a lot of rain these last two days. The road up to the church is very very step and muddy....too muddy. It was decided that we couldn't get any of the vehicles up that road today. We really needed that to happen since we need cement and the cement mixer to be brought up from the clinic site. So long story short....while we couldn't pour the church floor we did prep it and they will pour it on Monday. Praise God! We completed what we came here to do with a day and a half to spare!

While we were packing the bus to leave everyone was giving a lot of the stuff they brought away. Spare tools, work gloves, tons of candy, work glasses. We offered some rolls of toilet paper to a group of kids and they all looked at each other puzzled. That made the whole bus of guys roll with laughter. Apparently they use something else for tp in the cloud forests of Nicaragua.

So, after all the concrete was moved up to the shed, and since there was nothing left we could do, Brain led us on a hike through the jungle to an awesome waterfall. It was so beautiful. We took a bunch of photo's and then we headed back to the resort.

Oh yeah...by the way the resort is called Selva Negra. Check it out

Tomorrow we are trying to hit the road by 8:30 am. We are going to visit some of the ministry Brain is doing in Managua as well as get a tour of the city from him. We are all looking forward to some R and R after a week of hard work. More than that, we are all looking forward to getting home to our families.

(Tomorrow night we'll be at the Best Western again so I'll be able to use my personal computer to blog which means I can upload photos. Assuming their internet works =)
