Poland Mission Trip (Day 7)

This day was a big work day as seen in my notes of the trip. I wrote very little because it was a long day. I will try to give you some of the details.

"We worked a lot today. We poured concrete "the ole fashioned way". Everyone would push wheel barrows (full of concrete) up a ramp about 15 steps high. This was a two man job. One would run to the top as fast as possible. The other would use a hooking device made to catch the bottom axle of the wheel barrow. "

After that day of hard work was over. Which I was sooooo glad it was. Some of us went to "Miata's" house. We had coffee and "herbata". The herbata is a homemade herbal tea. We finally got back around 11:00PM. I will quote the last part of this day word for word:

"I missed emailing my wife. I have truly enjoyed the cards made by her and the kids. But it all seems fresher by email".

You can sense that I am ready to see the family. If they had went with me. We would have stayed forever.

You know they always need families to missionaries in Nicaragua. You could minister and she could teach. It would be a good experience for the children also...or you could leave them with Nana and Papa. :)
