Today they worked on building the goat pen. They had to dig a 3' trench and cut more logs. They are 1/2 way done. The goat pen will look similar to the cow pen, only the stakes will all be vertical. Everyone is extremely exhausted now, as they are having to do all of this without any power tools. They are using an axe to cut the trees. The goat pen is about 7 miles from camp, so they drive in the Land Rovers and a pick up truck. Some have to sit in the back of the pick-up while others ride on top of the Land Rover. They ate lunch onsite at the goat pen, where the chickens and goats will be kept for the orphanage. A guy named Oppey will be taking care of the goats and chickens for the orphanage.
On the way back to the camp they drove past a third piece of property where they will be growing Maize for the orphange. They stopped to say a prayer at the property. After that they stopped at the Mukumba Town Center, which consists of about 5 huts, to look around. They have not seen any wild animals as of yet.
Tonight, they are just hanging out and resting after working so hard. They ate one of the goats for dinner. Several of them even tried the internal parts that they cooked. Amber and Rasta (the Pastors wife) have been great cooks for the team.
At some point several of them went to the well where some kids were crying, because they had never seen white people before.
Tomorrow they will finish the goat pen and rest again tomorrow night. They think that the Chief and his Cabinet will be there Friday. So everyone is preparing for their arrival.
