We had two major projects going on yesterday. This would be the only day that we had to get some work done for the Leonards because the rest of our time here would be filled with Kids Camp and English Camp, so we knew that we had to work hard. Most of the team painted houses- Eight of them to be exact! Everybody worked VERY hard. In fact, a few comments were made about some of our gals: "When I look at you- you work like a man." Which is apparently a great compliment. The married students (Brazilians) of the seminary live in the houses we painted they came out and helped with moving the scaffold. They also tried to communicate with us, which at times was very humorous since we misunderstood 'a few' things. The students were very grateful to get their homes painted, they brought out juice and snacks for us. The second project was the installation of the sound system for the Seminary Chapel. Pastor Gene, Logan and Troy took on this task with the help of a couple of Brazilian men- Carlos and Milton. Without an interpreter the work was slow because it was so difficult to explain why we were setting up things in certain ways. They were great helpers though when they understood us. We ran all the wires so all we have left is a lot of soldering. Thankfully Pastor Gene, Logan, and Troy are not afraid of heights. This was a long way up. : )
