DAY #2: Got up this morning to a cold, windy day. Yesterday we had finished most of the planter-bed walls, so today, it was just a matter of finishing the back wall, building the pillars, and fixing the three different signs (that I had previously hand-carved and painted) in between the cinderblocks and cement. We ran out of cinderblocks, so we had Xavier bring another 125 of them before we got there this morning.
.
Within four or five hours, we were finished. It turned out somewhat level and plumb in most places, but because of its’ lack of perfection, it quite easily fits in with the rest of the surrounding architecture (the very not-level mud Yao houses). It has been so fun building this sign for the church in Assumane, which is the first church we have planted among the Yao villages north of Lichinga. Condela and Luciano helped us these last two days, and are very excited about the sign. Many people stop and comment on it as they pass by on the Assumane road.
