Day eight

Another day has come and gone, they are going to fast. After breakfast headed out to the school on the back of the Apache with Herman. He goes pretty slow trying to miss every pothole, and there are lots of them on the one road.
Herman worked on the drawers as you can see in the picture, some one local will make the door fronts. I finished the covers for the couch and then made a couple of curtains for Leona's bedroom.
I took some pictures of some of the kids that are sponsored by some of our church family I will post more as the days go on. You can then see how w ell and happy they are.
After lunch Leona and I went to the waterfalls that you see, Herman stayed and worked ,he is not much of a water person as some of you know. The falls are only about 15 minute drive out of town, it is a deep gorge that you walk down into. As we were walking I noticed that it was nice paved walk about 10 feet wide, I asked Leona who made all this? She said it is not a walkway it is an aqua duct carrying water from the mountain into town, I was quite amazed, that must have required a lot of hard work.
Once we got down there it was so noisy, the water rushing over the falls and over the rocks provided continous sound, we had to raise our voices in order to hear each other. Yet it was calming and relaxing as we sat on the hot rocks and read our books. As the sun moved so did we, till finally we had to cross the river and sit on the other side.No sooner had we done that when a whole group came down, turned out they were a work group from the Episcopalian Church of Rhode Island building a church in a local community here. We stayed a bit longer but our serinity had gone so we headed for home it was getting close to supper time anyway.
Leona is gone to her Bible study tonight, we are left holding the fort. Till tomorrow
