Tuesday, Habitat Build Day Two
Last night, Jackie (our Habitat leader) led us in a reflectional devotion and asked us to think about our WHY-- Why we decided to come on this trip to Batam, Indonesia & to continue to think about that during our time here. Why did we decide to come and why did God give us this opportunity? What are we hoping to learn or teach and what purpose will we serve by being here?
I don't have the answers yet, but Jackie's question was a good thing to have in the back of my mind as we were working hard and sweating hard today.
Today's task list consisted of more digging, rebar & cement. We have a really great team of hard workers and I feel lucky to be here, doing this work with them!
When we got home (back to our hotel after work) this afternoon, a bunch of us walked over to the massage place across the street from our hotel to get massages before dinner. We were charged 150,000 Indonesian Rupiah for an hour long traditional massage... That sounds like a lot, but it's actually just a bit over $11!
For dinner, we decided to give our tastebuds (and our tummies?) a rest and eat something we might be a little more familiar with: pizza! And it was some GOOD stuff. We got several different pizzas + two pastas (buy two pizzas, get a free pasta dish), and I think the crowd favorite was the #82: a pepperoni pizza with mascarpone cheese. Yum!
