The past two weeks went by way to fast...and the next two weeks are going just as fast. It makes me so sad! I really dont want to leave here. The second group has arrived. They are pretty cool. I got a sunburn too. It turned nice and brown then started peeling....stupid skin!
i havent written much about the girls at the orphanage so Ill tell you a bit about them.
The oldest is Jhara, she is 17 and very stubborn and thinks everything should be her way or no way.
Norma is a sly little girl who likes to make public statements of her discontent by taking a shovel to the gaurds head.
Ingrid is a very very very spunky girl. The word is weird but it fits her perfectly.
Andrea is quiet a little shy but has a beautiful voice.
Jessica, she is the clingyest little girl ever...I dont think she has ever gotten love.
Anna Julia is determined to leave the orphanage, she is not very happy.
Kimberly gives many many many hugs and kisses. To the extreme where it hurts.
So, that is the girls.
I love them so much!!!!

I Love Monkeys!
Okay, I guess it is time to post another update...
The team left on Wednesday last week and I moved into Wallie and Esther Weibes house. It was very beautiful. They have four children...they are all very cute and very loud. They have to be on their way to school by 6:45am. That's pretty early if you ask me.
Yesterday I went to a church service way out in the middle of no where. It was a very good experience...very very very different than any other Church I have been in.
Yesterday was also one of the most exciting days of my life...if you don't know and want to...ask Krista! Yay! I am so excited!
I saw lots of monkeys yesterday. I love monkeys!
Other than that I have been filling my days hanging out with the girls at CINAG, watching Spanish TV, learning a little Spanish and reading.

An Update
I had a hot shower for the first time in two weeks last night. I dont remember a time I was more grateful for hot water.
Last week was spent working. We painted so much. Today we painted almost an entire school, inside and out! Good thing it was only one room =)
On friday we went back to the ocean, I love the ocean! Saturday we visited a potter and a beautiful campground. Sunday I saw my first volcano close up. It was pretty stinky. And there was so much smoke we couldnt really see anything. I hope next time we go it will be clearer. The group sang a special number in church to...it was defiantly special!!!
I almost got hit by one of those tiny taxi on the way to the interent. That was pretty exciting. Last night there was a guy with a gun. Always an adventure!
Today half of our team got sick. We havent figured out from what but they are getting better. The people that got sick were the people that got needles. I didnt get any and Im fine...but maybe I will eat my words later.
School starts tomorrow here.
