Once again I have fallen behind with blogging. I am falling more in love with this place by the hour. The kids are so much fun to hang around and I am getting to know some of the older ones. This week I have been helping out in one of the apartments because one of the mothers is on break. Essy and I have been spending the night and helping in the mornings. It has been fun, but the mosquitos in the living room make it hard to sleep. As I have mentioned, it is the rainy season; in fact it is pouring outside at this very moment. During hard rains, flying termites can be found all over the place, including the houses when windows and doors get left open too long. Evidently they are delicious, I will be the judge of that when I work up the courage to try one for myself. Joe showed me how to cook one over a candle. He insists that they taste wonderful....I am not so sure if I believe him yet. Other than that, we are just preparing for school to start back up on Monday. Also, on Sunday, our church is having a 25th year anniversary. It is going to be a full day of events. Most of the kids are involved with choir or dance teams and they have been going to practices for the last two weeks or so. I can't wait to see all that has been prepared for the celebration.

I spent the weekend with my friend Miss Jane. It was a lot of fun. However, it rained really hard on Friday again so we ended up being stuck in traffic until about 11pm almost midnight. Did I mention that we left at 4 pm? I don't think that I will ever complain about heavy traffic again. Getting home that late is very common for most people around here during the rainy season.We would literally shut off the car for 5-10 minutes at a time before we would be even able to move an inch. So that was an interesting experience! On Saturday, Jane took me into town and we ran some errands for the church. It was fun to see more of the city. She even took me to a new mall. I think my jaw literally hit the floor! It was huge and extremely nice, it even included a 4 screened movie theatre upstairs.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading and God Bless.
