This morning we had team time and then Shpresa arrived - carrying 4 live chickens! This was to be our lunch. On the concrete forecourt outside our house the chickens went to meet their maker! Genti killed the first to show us how to do it. Here's a quick quiz for the comments, which 3 guys from our team then killed a chicken?
At 10 we went back to our team's nemesis - the hill! At the bottom were three large piles of concrete blocks. We worked out that there was somewhere between 4 & 5 tonnes of them to get to the top.
If we thought yesterday with the sand was tough, today was worse! We each worked a section of the hill, collecting one or two blocks and walking the 15m to the next guy.
After 2.5 hours I asked Genti (who was at the bottom) whether we'd done more than half yet. "Oh no, not half!" he said as if it were stupid even to think we were close. Luckily it was a 'lost in translation' moment, as Genti meant we had less than half still to take.
After 3 hours we stopped, again being treated to pancakes, coffee and raći by the family. It has been a beautiful, hot day today. From the family's home we could see the Mediterranean glistening on the horizon, while lush green hills curled around behind us.
This afternoon we are joining with the men from the village - coffee, dominoes and pool - and then we will have an opportunity to tell them about Jesus!
