Time to Recharge

It has been an intense, full and focused week.  But even the hardiest of bodies need to be recharged once in a while.

This morning after breakfast we headed up the mountain to Fontina, the site of our work last September; the trip wasn't any quicker than it was last year.  Some parts of the road had sections of concrete tire tracks poured so the ride there was quite smooth (as long as the truck stayed on the concrete pads - it did).  However, other portions of the road had been eroded by water flow and were in worse shape than last year.  Nevertheless, we had a good visit.  Many of the folks recognized us and were happy to see us.  The church building is still not being used for services.  Compassion has funded the construction of a new school building adjacent to the church.  That work is complete and ready for use in the school year to begin in October.  Folks were clearing the rubble from the demolition of one of the old buildings that had been used for school.

This afternoon we rested; for a couple hours the entire team had taken a nap.  It was needed.

Floor tile for the guest house was delivered yesterday, and today the tile bos and his helpers were busy with the installation.  Also, delivery of the components for the hospital solar system began arriving at the mission station.
