Wedding bells...

Alan (aka superman) who helps us out on the building site got married last Friday to a woman called Mayra, and they invited us all (10 of us!!) to his reception in the evening after the wedding. It was so nice of him to invite us and it was quite a small thing which made it even more special. He sang her a song which was ridiculously cheesy but pretty awesome at the same time. Everyone had a good time though and it was a great night!

On Sunday we went to Pastor René´s sisters house for lunch. Pastor René is one of the Pastors of the Rocka Fuerte Church (the one we go to) and he is with us most of the time. He works with us on the building site and he walks us to and from the school on tuesdays and wednesdays (because its too dangerous for us to walk alone) and he leads the kids club on wednesdays. He is an absolute legend, so kind, understanding, patient and generous. On Sunday i was looking at his tie and said that it was nice so he took it off and gave it to me! Everyone here is so generous with everything that they have it is just amazing. Anyway, we went to his sister´s and her husbands house for lunch after Church which was amazing. The usual ridiculously large quantities of food and Rafael (the husband) has it in his head that i eat a huge amount (which i am very happy about) so he kept on giving me more and more food. It was awesome!

Katy Dennis, our 11th member of the team arrived late last night. Her sister got married last saturday so she waited until after that to come her but she arrived safely and everyone is very pleased that she is now here with us. Me and Guy had an interesting tiome trying to tie up some balloons to the light bulb in the ceiling, but the ceiling was quite high so it involved standing on chairs with brooms in our hands trying to wrap the string around the light bulb... It was a complete failure and ended up with Guy flat on his back (fortunately there was a mattress on the floor next to him!)

Site is going really well aswell, we have almost finished concreting the floor of the kids club. Next we are going to be replacing the roof which is in a bad state at the moment. When we finish that our next project will be to put a second story onto the Sunday school classrooms attached to the Church.

This weekend (Friday-Monday) wer are going up to the beach on the North coast!! The guys here arranged that for us and we are so looking forward to it. Will be amazing im sure. I wont be able to get on the internet for a little while probably because i will be far too busy sunbathing, swimming and gettiong an amazing tan. After that though it will be back to work. I might be able to get back on the internet some time next week so will let you know how it goes then!
