Posted by: Tom,

Last night the worship team and Kristy (as a clown) had the service at Battersea church. The worship team was well received but Kristy was a huge hit. The kids loved her and i think the adults had a pretty good time as well. After the serivce we stopped off at McDonald's for a bite to eat and then headed home for bed. What a great night's sleep!!

This morning we got up and had breakfast at 8 AM. Thank God for Francis! Then we headed to the worksite at about 8:30.

Bob says that two years ago they were laying block and a lot of mortar was falling on the floor. Bob asked about it and was told not to worry about it because someone would clean it up later. Well, we started the day cleaning up that mortar.

We had an interesting day at the work site. Some helped plaster (Rendering, they call it here.) the walls while others helped clean up debri. Some also did some painting. The rest spent most of the day keeping everyone supplied with concrete or mortar. This involved mixing large quantities by hand and then carrying it up to the second floor in buckets. Hard work!!

The ladies of the church provided lunch which consisted of rice and peas, chicken, coleslaw and punch. it was delicious.

We quit about 4 - 4:30 and headed back for a cold shower. You would think it would be refreshing after working all day but it still feels a little too cold. But it's great to be clean so I'll stop complaining.

The weather has been great. A few clouds passed over today but I don't think there was anything more than a brief mist. it has been reasonably cool.

Tonight we are off to Richmond church to sing and so Kristy can do her clowning. We miss all of you back home so see you later.
