The second day of work was really like the first day-heavy or manual labor. Five tanks were buried in the cooler Mozambiquan dirt. Tanks were filled with water from the well that had plenty of the required bacteria that is necessary for aquaponics but is feared by the travelers to the third world.
As the week progresses, one of the last pieces of equipment to set up will be a solar power station to keep the gardening working during times of power outages. This is another area of hardship that missionaries often view as a way of life. Here in Mozambique, the power grid is taken down about twice per month for the entire day on Sunday. The hosts in the last year saw the power go out for a stretch of 7 days on one occasion and two years ago saw the power out for 39 straight days.
