Market Day and Community Help

This morning we had the opportunity to visit a near by market.  It is a very large open market and it was a great opportunity to really experience this culture.  I think the greatest find from the market was the 12 bottles of coke and sprite.  (I think they were the only 12 bottles in the entire market)
When we got back the guys got creative and decided to suspend them with wire down into the cistern water to cool them off.  There was just enough water in the cistern to cover them, but it is 8 feet deep, so it was a fun project.
This afternoon it was encouraging to see some of the people from the community help out with the digging.  Some children and even Madam Pepe joined in and helped.  It is always an encouragement to see the people willing to work along side of us.
The hole continues to get bigger.  This is not a fun job and we are so thankful for this group of willing servants who are working so diligently. 

Madame Pepe wanted to help shovel also

Madam Pepe thought she needed to show the guys how to use the pick

This picture was taken earlier this afternoon, and by the end of the evening, they had moved a lot of this pile in the middle.

These boys really wanted their picture taken.  I told them they had to work if I was going to take their picture.
