Today's schedule changes for a somber reason...

We arrived at the worksite this morning after a quick trip to the Farmacia (pharmacy) for a few individuals who were ill on our team. No worries - we're all taking good care of one another, and still getting the work done.

However, when we arrived at the worksite we found that our work would only last a half day, as the masons and other crew members were attending a funeral service. One of the men who works at the site managing the storage building was burying his brother who was murdered by thieves on Saturday. His father was also shot, and is hospitalized.

We worked until noon, and finished digging two large holes for the septic system at two different homes. The rest of the afternoon we went on a guided tour of Santa Ana and saw a beautiful theater, the cathedral of Santa Ana, and went shopping for souvenirs.

Tomorrow is a full day on the site, and we will be back at it soon enough. Love to our family and friends back home.
