Day 2

Hi!

The second day was filled with nonstop hoeing to create more "nice and moist" concrete. Our goal was to get all the walls up and to cement the floor. In order to accomplish this goal, we split up into two teams, one batch of concrete at a time. After each batch was completed, everyone joined in to create an assembly line that carried the buckets of cement to the house. To keep us all entertained, we broke out into old TV show theme songs. After plenty of thought, Landon and Maria finally remembered the intros to "Drake and Josh" and "Suite Life of Zack and Cody".
We then continued with "Guess the Hum" game. Of course, Mikki knew every Disney song, while Gaby guessed every High School Musical tune in less than 5 seconds. When Kelly and Dani said "only 80's and 90's songs!", they were the only ones left playing.
As the long day went on, most of us started getting tired... except for one. Tyler continued to give 100% all day and it showed. "This bucket is too heavy...TYLER!!!"
Although a few people in the Nica crew don't speak Spanish, the language barrier did not limit them. Maddie, Sabrina, Charles, and Kyle continued to create relationships with the family we are building the home for. Michele, the four year old daughter never fails to put a smile on each and every one of our faces.
After a long day at work, we all ran to the showers to get ready for dinner and devotions. Maria, the cook made another killer meal for us that was much needed after all the hard work. Devos was then led by Tyler, who opened up about his testimony, which brought us all closer as a crew. We were all reminded about why we are here and can't be more grateful.

So excited for tomorrow!
Dani and Gaby :)
