Tuesday, Day 2. We made it!

Yesterday, we met our other friends in Atlanta. Not long after we left Atlanta on a 767-300, the pilot told us a sensor light was on and to make a long story short, the jet circled back and landed in Atlanta. The good news was that we did not have to leave the aircraft, and we were back in the air about 90 minutes later.

We were not long at the San Jose airport, and customs let us go through unchecked. That was very nice, so we were not too late arriving at the hotel. Everyone was pretty beat so most of us ate, and relaxed.

Today we started our work in Fray Casiano. In the morning, there were about a dozen kids inside working on crafts. This afternoon, there were probably 50 or more kids. They are a lot of fun. There is a church service tonight at 7:00 (9:00 EST), and we'll be going there.

Work on the building went slower than anticipated. The lintels went in and tomorrow we'll fill the blocks. After the mud sets, we can finish the blocks and start on the roof.

Continue to pray for the folks here. They are wonderful people. Pura Vida!
