Here is a picture of me with my dear friend, Meredith, who was on the LBC college team. Sometimes you meet people and you just click right away...and that was definitely the case with this awesome group of college students! I wish I had a picture with all 27 of them! I am so blessed to have the opportunity to meet and serve alongside so many different people. I think it is one of the things I love most about being here.
This week we had three different teams arrive from the US.....Its a lot of people!!! It's so exciting to see how much construction can get done when you have so many hands to help!!!
The past couple of weeks have been challenging for me. The death of baby Alex was really hard. When I first moved here he was just two months old. I loved seeing him every week and watching him getting bigger, start to walk and even start to talk a little bit. His death was so sudden. Two years ago his family also lost their three year old. Death is no stranger to this family. Although we are still grieving we rejoice to see the hand of God working in the lives of the family even in the midst of the sadness.
Rainy season has come again...Even as I write this there is a torrential downpour and a typhoon on the way. Rainy season is exciting for me because it cools down just a little bit :) And if there is a big storm school is canceled and that is always fun to have a day off :)
It is official----I will be home for a visit in September!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If only you knew how excited I am to see everyone!!!!!!!!!!!! I am counting down the days :)
