Day 7: wood transporting (Alec)

Journal #7 

-wood transporting and orphanage cleaning 

    This day was quite regular.  We woke up at the same time, ate the same bland breakfast, and entered our work transportation trucks right on queue.  
    When all thirteen students had entered the two trucks, we made the short commute to a wood shop in town where we filled each truck with about thirty five two by six's and about twelve four by fours.  When we filled the trucks, we climbed back into the trucks and drove about thirty minutes to a gated village that was as a few towns away.  The drive there was amazing and the views that were to be seen were jaw-dropping.  Once we arrived to the village, we quickly unloaded the wood out of the trucks in their specific locations, and we left back to San Lucas because there was no more work to be done.  
    We returned to the mission and recognized it was lunch time so we ate another bland, nourishing meal and returned to work as soon as possible.  
    Following lunch, we split up into two groups.  One group transported wood like they had in the first part of the day.  This work enjoyable for me because we got the opportunity to view some of the open country while doing legitimate work.
    The other group went to "Casa Feliz", a mission owned orphanage that had not been used for many years.  I was not a part of the group that ventured there, but I heard great things of the size of the facility and of all of the things that were left behind and stand as a reminder of what "Casa Feliz" used to be.  
    Today's work was enjoyable.  I enjoyed transporting wood and talking with the local children of the village.
