The past two days we went to tejerías (a church out in the country) to help work. After our jam packed Spanish lessons (were covering every thing from hello to complicated verb tenses I can work without) in the morning we packed 6 people into a pickup truck and had three more wedged around the work supplies (we both painted and laid cement to hold a slide and some swings). After getting stopped in a police checkpoint and having to explain that my dad HAD his license renewed but just didn't have it with him we eventually made it. the first day we painted the whole sanctuary which had a white coat over it that was looking old and was chipping through to the concrete walls. The second day, today, dug holes, mixed up the cement and put the slide and swings in to keep them sturdy. at the same time as that another group painted and cleared debris out of karsten's to-be room. (karsten will be living with me but will be working much farther away than I am. he will need to take a micro (small bus) all the way out there which would be a long trip for every morning and every night, so he has a room being made in tejerías.
I hope to upload pictures some time we will see how my internet is in my host family next week.
Gloria has some on facebook already if you want to look there.
