This post is going to be kinda short but I wanted to give everyone a view of my past week.

Monday- We had class in the morning over Celebration of Discipline and studied a chapter on studying (ya, try to figure that one out). We then had ESL in the afternoon and I helped Fatima, another girl at Sisters of Charity, with her English homework and forced her to speak some English. Then, we had a team meeting with Don and Connie Rock, a couple with AIM, and were able to tell them stories about living down here and how God is working. We finished the night off with some tutti frutti helado (frozen fruit juice in a bag... delicious and only 1 cordoba!).

Tuesday- Let's see... woke up in the morning sick and went to bed better. That's basically it :-)

Wednesday- We had the 2nd part of a 3 day seminar down here. I missed the first one on Tuesday. It was about bringing development, not neccesarily relief, into a community. Jenn, Laura and I went to TelePizza for lunch. And then we had a meeting about our trash picking up ministry and the possibility of changing how we handle it... We're still praying about it and where God might want to take it. Then had ATLs in the afternoon and a Younglife leader meeting at night.

Thursday- We started out the morning with another ATL and my group decided to go find some girls to invite to Younglife since the guy to girl ratio there is about 5 to 1. We invited about 10 girls (but we're still not sure if any of them showed up since we watched a movie and it was dark and pretty crowded).And then we had the last session of the seminar. And then at night we had Younglife where we watched Journey to the Center of the Earth...

Friday- Yesterday morning we went to Sisters of Charity to help with the daycare again but I was not feeling well by the time we got there so I simply sat with Natalia (one of our translators) and got to know her better. And then we had class in the afternoon (more on studying) and actually we were given an assignment to study something in nature. I studied the rain, other people studied a tree, wind, the sky and a spider... A couple of poems were written :-) And then last night was the movie night down the street and somme of us went down to watch it. I ended up only seeing the first 5 minutes and then talking to people, painting nails, playing games... friday nights are one of my favorites!

So that's my week :-) I will plan on writing more next week! Please pray for good health in my team; alot of people are coming down with sicknesses, sometimes just simple colds but a couple of people have gone to the hospital for help.
