WEEKEND OFF

Hi everyone. Hope everything is going well at home. Everything here is good, if you ignore the effect a virtually all rice diet has on your lower digestive tract!
Not much has happened the last few days. A typhoon just missed our base, but we got lots of rain. It's been raining the majority of the last few days so the church and bible studies that we do on Sunday and Tuesday were cancelled. We walk to the lecture hall in knee high deep puddles. It's still over 30 degrees though sot he water is welcome.Some place the in town don't have drains so he water builds up in the streets, sometimes shoulder deep. When it rains all the kids come out and swim and bath in the puddles.
We've been doing a couple of extra hours of class the last few days to make up for the weekend off we are getting. Yay, urine analysis!
I'm going to be heading to one of the nearby islands Thursday night to relax with some of the girls. We're hoping to go snorkling and banana boating.
I'd post pictures but there is dead bug in the USB port, so maybe next time.

sounds like you're doing some great work and learning a lot there. The church is praying for you, we've been thinking alot about you and Kim as a staff. Jenn can't wait till you get back either. Keep it up.
