Day 5- a great day

Today was a great day.  A good breakfast of fresh mangos and papaya with yogurt and cereal, then another productive morning painting in the sanctuary.  Those working on the exterior also made good progress.  It may not be possible to reach the highest part of the exterior wall though.

Pastor Ramon asked Ally if she would be willing to design and paint a mural in the room where the group has been sleeping.  This room had originally been the sanctuary before the new addition was complete.  It was now going to be a hangout space for the kids and youth.  He had several computers set up for an internet cafe area, and wanted to paint a decorative mural on the wall.  Ally asked what he wanted to paint and he requested Noah's ark, so she first sketched it on paper, then gridded it out on the wall.  (Pastor Ramon got her paint and on our last day she set to work painting as quickly as she could.  She soon got assistance from Chris, Joca, David, and a delighted Delaney.  They worked right through VBS on the last day and managed to finish.  It was an amazing creation, especially with such a tight timeline!)

Almost done...

The ladies who have been feeding us made chilli rellenos, homemade stuffed peppers.  Delaney wouldn't eat them and enjoyed another Nutella sandwich from the backup food supplies we brought :). But I loved them!  We were even served flan (custard) for dessert.  They are currently preparing a traditional meal from Tabasco in the South.
Cooking in the entry way where there is more room than in the kitchen.
