Today we went to Church and it was amazing. It was standing room only and we worshiped for at least 30-40 min with great songs just like Willow Creek had. The pastor was filing in for the normal one and he had so much love for God, it was a great way to kick off the mission. Then we toured the school there which was for the elite kids. It was cool to see, but also sad to see even the elite don't have it as good as we do. Their BB court is cement with the hoops all bent, it also doubles as a vollyball court. Imaging diving for a ball on cement.
We had lunch and went to the O to scope out the projects. We will be finishing as much as we can of the clinic .it is not close to being done so they need our help bad. Joe and the Dr. will do the electric, I will be working with Leo and Jeff to fix the holes in the block walls, plus we will be cleaning it out, there is masonary block plus a lot of other stuff to take out. If we finish ,they have a leak in the O that we will also fix.
Tonight was fun, about half of us sat outside and told our "storys", so that was cool. We just came up and it is midnight here. Also, the van at the O wouldn't start and I actually fixed it!!!
The conditions of the roads are horrible, all pot holes and I wouldn;t even call them roads .it looks like a war zone. There are a lot of street vendors like Vietnam but poorer.
Today was the first day that I actually could see us packing up and commiting a couple years to a mission. God is working so much in all of us!
OK got to go and try to sleep, that rooster is at it again and they are about to turn the generator off so the fans and computer shut down also.
Give the girls a big hug and kiss from me and I miss you all very much!!!!!!!!!!
Love,
me
