BORK!!!

We're just about at the end of week two and time has deifinitely sped up. The first week seemed to take months but the second week only felt like a day or two. It seems like we've done so much in the short time that we've been here. At the same time though there is still a lot of work and a lot of things that God has to teach us.



So last week was our first full work week. We've started to get into a routine and have difinitely seen results. Weather is a little unpredictable so we decided to take advantage of the nice weather we've had. We took a break from replacing the ceiling and started work on reapairing the roof of the OM base. This was deifinitely work that we never thought we would be doing. First thing we had to do was scrape off all the old tar that had bubbled up over time. This required a lot of time on our knees and our arms and hands getting covered in fiber glass. Then we had to cement all of the holes that we created from the scraping so that it created a smooth surface. The final step was to cover the entire thing with tar (to include a good patch on Chris's leg). We finished this about lunch time on Friday.



After the roof was finished we continued our work on the ceiling. The material that they chose is a huge pain so this has been a somewhat slow process. After a full day on that we are just about done. After that I think we will be building an awning in the courtyard of the base. This will probably be our final task here before moving to the farm.

Enough about work, let's talk about our awesomely fun awesome weekend awesomeness. We actually didn't do a lot, it was just really fun for some reason. Friday night we went to the youth group again but this time we played volleyball and actually held our own. After that a few kids were really exciterd to have us teach them how to throw a football. In the same way we have the stereotype of all Latinos (which is pretty much true) they have the same one for Americans with football. They're as awkward with their hands as we are with our feet. Saturday Siegfried took the girls and us to the highest "moutain" in Montevideo. There was a museum at the top that we walked around in for a couple of hours. The view of the entire city was amazing. Later we went to a park in order to teach the girls how to play Ultimate Frisbee. I've never seen a rookie have so much fun with that game before. Sunday we went to a church where Alejandro (the head of OM Uruguay) is the pastor. Chris was pleased to see that they had a ping-pong table and we played with 2 natives for about an hour. Later we went back to the park because the girls really wanted to play more frisbee. All of this entailed us walking probably close to 15 miles over the course of the weekend.

That's about all for the update this week. We are excited to see what God has for us next. Thank you for all of your prayers, we love you guys.
