Life as we know it...

We survived our first partial week of school. Each day was a little easier than the day before. The whole school has had major issues with a storm that came through. Many dorms lost computers, phones, had water damage and many hassles. We lost our phones. So it hasn't gone as smoothly as we had hoped, but it hasn't scared us off! The guys in the dorm are great and we know that this is exactly where we are supposed to be! It is hard to feel so inadequate much of the time. Language has been kicked into high gear with so much communication needed on a minute by minute basis. It is hard when you are normally a fairly competent person, but when you try to communicate you feel like a goof! Our staff is very gracious and patient, but they do look at me like I have 3 heads sometimes. But all in all it is going well, with many funny embarrassing things to come! Below is a slideshow from our time before starting the dorm. We went to a ministry called Malika Monkeys to buy a drum and hang out with the lady who runs the ministry to help street boys learn a trade. We also went to Snake Island to rock climb and snorkel. It was so beautiful and truly showed God's creation. Enjoy!
