Well, our next group is coming in this evening. It's a group from Jeffersonville, IN, and Cory and Laura Beth Lamb are coming with them! They used to live down here as missionaries, and I'm so excited to see them! I know they're excited to be here as well because it will be their first time to be back after living here for two years.
Since my last post, here is what has happened. After a hard work day on Monday of pouring concrete, we took the Lake Cities group to the beach. Unfortunately, it wasn't exactly the beach weather everyone was looking forward to, but this group did not let that stop them from having a blast. As soon as the rain started they started up a game of soccer! It was so much fun watching everyone play together and enjoy their time there. We mixed it up a little this time, and instead of eating at the beach, we came back to the Outreach Center and had a cookout. It was a lot of fun, and I personally enjoyed doing something that reminded me of being home. Let's face it...a cookout is pretty American. :)
Tuesday morning we helped get the group packed up and then we all got to go with them to the airport to say goodbye. They were such a wonderful group, and I am definitely going to miss them! When we arrived back at camp, Norm made all of the interns be completely silent for two hours. We were able to do whatever we wanted, but we could not talk. This was exactly what we needed! It's so hard to find time for yourself down here because there is so much to be done. This time was great for me to journal, pray, and read the Bible. It was also relaxing to not feel like I had to do anything. After quiet time, we had dinner at Norm's and then we all played cards together. I love nights like this where we can relax and just spend time together. I love everyone here so much, so it's always fun to be together.
Yesterday we prepared for the group that is getting here today. We had some things to take care of around camp, so we tried to get all of that done. However, we have been getting so much rain that it's making it difficult to do anything outside which is where most of our activities are! Apparently rain is not normal for this time of year, but we have definitely gotten our share of it. Hopefully it will let up soon so that we can get back to normal and be dry for a few hours. Haha.
Right now the interns are in Rio San Juan catching up on Facebook and doing some laundry. We're excited for the next group to get here and for what this new week holds!
