Norberto got in about midnight last night, done with the recording sessions that were going to occupy him yesterday and today, and unaware that the guys had left last night to return tomorrow. he knocked on our door at 7:30 this morning and asked us if we wanted to work today. so we did. helped him lay brick pretty much all day. meaning, we mixed mortar, hauled bricks, hauled sand and cement and ... cal ... whatever that is in english ... STILL not sure what it translates to. but whatever it is, it's a white powder. when i went to dump out the bag of cement, i'd already emptied the bag of cal but the bag slipped out of my hands and landed on the pile of dry mix. of course it went everywhere. kinda fun ... there for a minute my shoes were the color they were when i first bought them. :-)
the high point of the day was Romualda feeding us both the noontime lunch and the 4 PM lunch. she was frustrated because she hadn't been able to do more for the crew during the week, mostly due to her limited income. she couldn't afford to feed 7 men. when it turned out today that there were only three of us working, she decided to surprise us and fix the two meals for us. they were both delicious. the green sauce she cooked the chicken in this evening was incredible - tomatillos and cilantro, a littel bit of onion, some garlic, and all blended together. wonderful taste.
looking forward (with not a little anxiety) to what God has for us at the gathering tomorrow evening at 5 (central time, 6 eastern).
Don just stopped in at the door to say 'later gator, i'm going to a ball game!' ... wish you could have seen the look on his face. :-)
grace & peace
