Day 5

We woke up to an incredibly wet day. Apparently, there's a typhoon hanging around... The warning was at level one at breakfast and level two at lunch. It's not really clear what that all means.. It's a little bit windy but that's about it, though the airport has closed today.
All of the ladies except for Rita slipped on dry weather shoes and spent the morning in the apostolate. The bubbly chatter after their return gave clear expression to a positive experience.
Rita joined the men on the building site. She learnt first hand how the brothers operate according to a less organised schedule than us. The morning was spent mixing cement, laying bricks, filling bags and then waiting over an hour for three of the brothers to return with more cement. Not very much was achieved.
Due to the weather, we were told to spend the afternoon resting. This was a great disappointment to most. I enjoyed the pause. Tonight, we will have shared supper with the brothers. They are madly preparing the meal - Michael helped by killing two of the ducks. I still prefer not to see my food while it is still alive.
