First off I want to apologize for not posting every day. Our work schedules are crazy and when I do have a moments chance I have to take the computer over to the office (oficina) to get connection. The only draw back is that there are a TON of mosquitoes and gnats there and I just get eaten alive. I will try and post every day, but sometimes I just can't cope with ALL the buzzing. Some of the other group have wireless cards that they use and they are able to be in the comfort of the dining hall. Please go to our church's website for more updates as well as photos:

Friday: We were up and working by 9am. I had gotten alot of sun on thursday, so the maintenence guy took me off of powerwashing in the sun to an office job in the air conditioning. (suffering for the Lord). Lauren was really suffering because she was on her hands and knees picking up the paintchips out of the lawns that I had knocked off with the powerwasher. Justin was with me checking out a BIG box of markers to see if they were dried up or not and he was playing with the Marshall's kids.
Michael arrived in the afternoon. Dwayne Huff and myself, Lauren and Justin all drove to SanJuan (1hr 15min) away to pick him up. It was great to see him, but he was exhausted. Poor guy only got 2 hours of sleep the night before and no sleep on the plane. So happy he is here finally!! Pray that he gets caught up on his sleep.
Just a side note our van just pulled up and I have moved inside of it. PTL!!! I was being SWARMED with gnats while writing this blog. It is DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! Please pray for me I am on the verge of cracking with all these creatures!!!
In the evening (8ish) we went to the barrio for a youth group meeting. There were about 17 kids there and the ages ranged from 10-18. Erin, Lexi, Aubree, Sam, Johnny, Troyce, Lauren and Justin, Michael and I all went. It was so nice to interact with kids. Justin really enjoyed playing that games (tag). Then we came back around 10pm and just hung out for the rest of the evening and got to bed after some card games.
Saturday: We are having the day off today. We are taking it easy for the morning and then after lunch we are heading into Ponce, PR for the afternoon. I will try and post tonight if I can get a van again.
We are all very well and coping with the heat. I guess the hardest thing for me is all the mosquitoes and gnats. It is hard to concentrate. Also, we are preparing for the church service tomorrow so please pray for wisdom and the right words to say tomorrow.
Love you all and PLEASE, PLEASE go on the other blog to check out in more detail of the goings on here.
Talk to y'all soon!!!!
Amy
