hey everyone! sorry its been so long since I have had anything to say but I’m back! So my time in Las Zanjas has been interesting. Not as exciting as Marcos i must admit. I have been pretty sick this week some throwing up and stomach stuff. Ruth and Eric came to visit yesterday and so they gave me some pills. Turns out there have been 4 people in the hospital from our group so far, we have already broken the SST record! So I am working on recovering from that.
We did start the camp this week and things didn’t go as well as maybe we had hoped. First we didn’t get materials copied because we didn’t know that things weren’t open on Sunday so we had to wing it the rest of the week. And when we did end up making copies we only made 30 because we thought that would be enough but for the morning and afternoon groups we had more than 50 at times. so we have been feeling stressed and under prepared. We need to learn to work on Dominican time and realize that things don’t always happen when we think they are going to happen.
SO at this point in service I am doing a little bit of counting down (we have 26 days from today until Miami!) and lets just be honest I will be ready to be able to sit down to go to the bathroom again! But I am working on my Spanish and enjoying the cool rain and the great people! I hope you are all well and I will see some of you in 4 weeks!
