look out! she has a crowbar and she's not afraid to use it!
are they making the missionary pull out his hair?!
the right tool for the right job...
carving
sawing
and more sanding
The projects involved framing and installing windows, sawing lumber, sanding boards, restoring a cabinet, creating and carving beautiful wooden signs, some plumbing, some wiring, along with two school programs, which included puppets, a craft, dancing and songs.  We also hosted the village women and pampered them by painting nails and doing hair, washing their feet, and doing a craft with them.  We also went out visiting homes. We did dramas, singing, puppets, dancing, sharing, and just socializing.  We had a few people who spoke some Spanish but I was so proud of the team...EVERYONE tried to speak and learn a little Spanish.  We experienced a jungle walk, a baptism, a pig butchering, the loudest most awesome thunder and lightning storm any of us have ever been in (including our missionary hosts). Yes, it did rain, but we were equipped with fashionable rubber boots.  I know I threw a lot of writing at you, but it was easier than trying to punch it in between photos as blogger has not been very hospitable to me (sorry for always whining about that!).  Til next time... love you ALL!
