This week Oscar and I have been working on a zip-line project. We are building a platform for the kids to stand on as they jump off the zip-line. Our task is to cement 4 poles into the sand, bolt them and make sure its a level platform. Sounds pretty easy right? Yet it has been a difficult week in many ways. The weather has been extremely hot, the wind is absent, I am not use to working in the sand either. We had to mix sand, rocks and cement in the wheel barrel in order to make the concrete and we had to get water from the lake. Needless to say, things are a little slower here and projects like this take time...I had no idea. God is present though, He has giving me a new appreciation for Oscar and all the men and women who work like this everyday! God is good and its all worth it when I get to see children of Nicaragua use this zip-line! Its going to be an awesome day!
