I have a lot to be thankful for as I write this:
~It has rained some today, and although it is horrible for the laundry I finally did (all clothes are line dried here) and it is bad because around 100 people are arriving today, and it is never fun to unload and load vans wet---it is great for the plants here at the Gateway.
~Folks are arriving today...yay....we get to start doing what we came to do. Right now will is on an airport run to pick up a couple of groups, he has to go back later again today.
~I have a long break today (from like 1-7:00). It is wonderful to have free time, I can not wait to nap.
~I am eating sour patch kids right now:)
~In two days we might get to find out the sex of the baby!
~ We are constantly surrounded by a wonderful group of staff, getting devotionals, having worship times...it is nice to live in a Christ filled environment.
Other news:
~Will is no longer leading the first week, we have a doctor's appt. on Monday and fly out early Friday, he also finally decided to put his foot down and ask to be with me on the project sites...he feels more comfortable with me and baby right by his side. All staff rotate the jobs of Project Manager, Project Facilitator, and Support Staff...so for the next two weeks Will and I are just support staff...there is less pressure when you do not have to run the projects.
~There was a scorpion in our room the other night...wow!
~The showers are a little better.
~I dropped our new camera and it is broken...yep no pictures can be taken or seen....I am not sure what we are going to do yet, but it is super sad.
~Still no bathroom sink or AC in the living area....not complaining just updating:).
Yesterday (just in case you want to know):
~We went on a scavenger hunt around Matamoros....this was to help us become more familiar with the town. It was fun...my team lost and Will's team won!
~We went to South Padre Island...and hung out on the beach...it was fun but it was a long day, we grilled out and got back around 10:30 or 11:00.
Love everyone....keep praying please...we miss you...and if you are reading this...you are really cool...sorry they are so long...hopefully they will get shorter.
