Day 5!!

Hello All, 
Today we split into two groups with half going to a ordination of a new priest and the other staying at the work site. Those who went to the ordination were able to witness a beyond belief sense of love and community! The priests are truly family here! The church was also packed and all of the surrounding area were very very happy for him. The mass touched many hearts and was very emotional for some of us.
Those who went to the job site also had a amazing day. We are starting to really build a amazing camaraderie and sense of community with those living at the job site. The children who had been so shy, now greet us happily every morning. Today,they gave us a impromptu concert and sang the national anthem for us. We worked hard and are making progress, despite the fact we keep breaking tools... today 1 shovel and pick ax. Just as we were leaving the job site we were pulled over by the mayor of the municipality who was perplexed by "what all the white people were doing"  in his community upon learning what we were up to he invited us to have dinner with him tomorrow night. It was a great day!
