Today the men were assigned to help build the foundation of the future playground. The concrete was supposed to come at two and we were to prepare the location for the concrete in the meantime. The morning consisted of all the men shoveling gavel or hand mixing concrete for specific locations to assist in leveling the foundation. We had a great time working extremely hard in the sun. Around 11:30, David and I stopped working on the foundation and went to one of the houses where the children were putting on a show. They were 3-5 yr olds and extremely cute! I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO KNOW WHAT THEY WERE SINIGING! It’s a bit difficult when they’re singing in Russian. However, we’ve all been enjoying learning to communicate with one another without using our full vocabulary and everyone is trying to learn new words in the other language. After the concert, David and I returned to the playground area and continued hard labor. We are all loving the hard work and the breaks with the kids. The concrete didn’t come today, but this gave us all time to finalize the prepping of the site and clean up for a great dinner/picnic in Pastor Nickoli’s backyard. It was a great meal to end a great day.
