Today is Friday. We will be going back to San Antonio one more time to finish the fencing. Yesterday we had our excursion. It was wonderful to enjoy a relaxing day. Kayaking, swimming and hanging out in the shade. Great for our sore muscles!!

Today was our big push to finish the fence! We got up early and stayed late. We almost got it done!! The kiddos worked extra hard hammering and pulling chain link fencing as well as stringing barbed wire. The sun was relentless, but in spite of it all, we loaded the bus and headed back to the hotel with smiles on our faces. We have worked well together and have accomplished so much!! Tomorrow, we get the day off! Headed to swim and play in the ocean.

Hauling cement and rock!

Maya and Alex dig to fit some of the chain link around a corner post.

Time for the barbed wire! Look at that  great fence! And that is just a portion of it. I encompasses four acres!

We had a very hot and sticky Sabbath day but gained a blessing as we enjoyed the culture and the Sabbath message brought to us by Andrew's University Students and Leaders. Then we took a walk into a beautiful spot we love! Rio Blanco. Lunch was served there on the rocks by the river. Then we enjoyed the cool water and of course the jumping rock! The highlight? Six baptisms in the river.
