Second big post!

So, since Wednsday, we´ve done a load more work on the building site. Since we got here, we have knocked down one building, dug three and a half trenches, dug a massive hole (mostly Jon´s work) for concrete pillar to go in, and made three steel frames for the concrete pillars. Today is our day off, though our plan to go to a waterfall for swim was scuppered by heavy rain this morning!
The food has continued to be fantastic, with a vegetable stir-fry and pasta followed by pancakes on Thursday, and fried potato and egg with bread then chocolaty flapjack yesterday - the domestics teams are really stepping up to the challenge of improving the cooking each day!
Four people (Alison, Simon, Rob and Aaron) went out to the campo on Thursday. They really enjoyed playing football and tag with the kids, and also had a chance to share their testimony in Spanish. We are all heading out together on Monday, which should be really enjoyable and rewarding.
Other things comig up:
We start with the community work in Apolo tonight, with a kid´s club for 14+. Pete and Linda Lugtigheid are mostly leading, and introducing us to the members.
Tomorrow we have our first service at the Lutheran church. I (Jonathan) am preaching, which is slightly terrifying, and Aaron and Claire are leading the Sunday school.
We have a lot of youth work activities throughout the week, including kid´s clubs, Sunday sports, English and music teaching, and nursery work.
Prayer points:
- The tractor is looking increasingly unlikely, but your prayers for this would be much appreciated
- Everyone involved in leading activities in the community this week (so everyone!) as we prepare
- The team as we all head into the campo this Monday
- Claire (the Strider from Sucre) as she heads back to Sucre tomorrow, that she would be safe travelling, especially after this morning´s rain
- That we could continue to gel well with the Bolivians

See you next time!
