We got up about the same time and headed in for breakfast after which we enjoyed another round of the Un-game as Charles had given us new cards. We walked to the work site this morning as Charles found out the transmission was leaking and he had to go to Toluca to get it fixed. We took down the forms from the concrete we had poured yesterday and everything looked pretty good. Then we started to prepare the scaffolding along the front wall to put up forms on top of it. We also stared to tie steel up for the roof supports. We had a circle-up time about 10:30 and Nancy gave her testimony. Afterwards, we had refreshments of an orange drink and wafer cookies. When we returned to work, we started to put a form on one roof support. Charles, Bob B and I basically worked on this as the others were working on other projects. About 1:30 P.M. we headed to the bus for lunch. After lunch, I took a short nap. I'm not sure just how long I slept, but I sure needed the rest. Charles and I walked back to the work site together and on our arrival, started working on the roof support form again. While we were doing this, another group started on the one across the church from us. Also, another group started to mix concrete as Charles, Bert and I put the finishing touches on our form.

Charles and I stayed on top to pour the concrete into the form from buckets being handed to us from the ground. After we had finished ours, they started pouring the truss across the front. About halfway through, we took a very short break to have a lemonade and orange refreshment made by the villagers, it was very good. When we returned to work, we finished filling the truss form in no time at all. The foreman told us that we should call it quits for the day as it was just too late to pour the other roof support. It was a little after 6:00 P.M., but too late for the swimming hole today. We told the foreman we might as well finish it up as long as we had a pile of concrete partly mixed anyway. We finally talked him into this and everyone really worked hard to get it finished. We had it poured and were on the way back to the bus by 6:45.

After supper, we visited for a short time and about 7:30, Charles coaxed people to head down to the church again to view slides of last year's trip to Mina Vieja. I decided to stay at the bus for awhile with Harold and Merle who were still not feeling well. I later walked down to the church and arrived just in time to hear the translator asking for the return of a camera that was missing. It seemed that Bob B. had set his camera down at the Church service the evening before and hadn't seen it since. The Minister, along with the foreman, was urging anyone who had seen it to come forward. This continued for at least a half-hour until they finally finished the service. The woman who was the mother of our household where we stayed got up and told a story about finding things. She told them about when she did our laundry she didn't get everything sorted out when she returned our clothes. She later found a handkerchief that she knew didn't belong to her family. She urged the villagers to look through their belongings and if they found the camera to return it to Bob. We then headed for our homes after another long day. From our experience with the overcrowded truck the night before, we made two trips home to avoid any more problems. We asked for some water to clean up a bit and the ladies of the household heated us some water. When the ma-ma came out, she helped wash our hair and rinsed it with warm water. We felt much better and sat around the wash tub in groups of four and washed our feet. We then stood in another tub and ma-ma rinsed our feet. We went to bed very refreshed.
