I am really a starting to get into building things out of wood, i like the challenge of using really simple tools to build.
Among other things that i have been working on is fixing the water system which is finally finished and now functioning well. We had water in village for the first time in two months last week, everyone was really happy because we all worked really hard and it paid off.
We had to carry sand and rock to the top of the mountian above the village for the concrete mixture. It was hard work because we had to mix the cement right there on the jungle floor, but as you can see from the picture it worked (I hope it stays that way). The hardest part though was carrying the one hundred and ten pound sacks of cement to the top, I seriously thought it was going to kill me, it very well could have been the hardest work I have every done in my life. But oh well it is done noiw and the village has running water again.
Lately I have been playing a lot of baseball with my village, it is a lot of fun. We play in the regional league and we are fairly competitive. The only problem is that we have no equipment when we practice we use a ball made of tape and we use our hands instead of gloves, for bats we cut down really solid trees and carve bats out of them. When we play in the real games we get to borrow equipment, so that is nice, it is the first time that i have every played baseball bare foot it is a little strange at first. Anyways we practice everyday and play in games twice on the weekends which is helping the time go by.


Well i guess that is about all for this blog, things are good so i cant complain. So until next time, I hope all is well.
As you can see in the picture on the left the moon is really bright at night sometimes, it is really pretty because it reflects off the water and makes everything that much brighter.
