Tuesday morning the team made it's way back to the church worksite. Now on top of illness the other constant problem was rain. The summer is the rainy season in the DR so it rains for at least some portion of every day. It had rained so bad on Monday that the worksite was a muddy mess. As you can see in the video the mud sticks to your shoes and starts to weight you down. We tried to spread gravel so that we could work.

The first load of cinder block was delivered that morning so we had to start moving and staging the block to where it needed to be used. Unfortunately the rain just kept getting worse to the point that at around 11 am it became a torrential downpour. The teams only choice was to flee inside the roofed over part of the church and wait it out.

Some of the younger members of the team who did not mind the water took the opportunity to play with and/or entertain the local children. By noontime it was clear that work would be impossible for the remainder of the day so back to the house we went.

Chad was also starting to feel better by afternoon. The rain continued all afternoon so we worked on our children's bible school lesson and our worship service preparation.

You know you've been trapped inside by the rain too long when the women start to dance with each other.

That night we attended a home worship service where the team led the service and Jeff gave the message.
