Projects

This week is a week of projects. During those weeks of break (that somehow just FLEW by), we might have bitten off more than we were ready to chew in projects and now we are in a mad scramble to finish them all before the onslaught of this summer's groups.
Dan's off painting 2 rooms that we are in the process of tearing out and laying completely new flooring in, we've got 4 bathrooms with toilet problems, 1 blue truck that needs 4 new tires, 16 rooms with brand new curtains installed, 3 screens that need to be patched and about 8 loads of laundry I've been putting off because of the rain. And that's just day one! :) But we really are so excited to get back into the swing of things and get to know the groups that we have coming down this summer.

On a little more somber note, I'm heading out with Dr. Perdomo tomorrow to pick up some more supplies for the hospital in El Cercado. If you hadn't heard, El Cercado has been hit pretty hard with Cholera over the last couple of weeks. The clinic and hospital staff have been working around the clock. As of today the report was better than it's been in awhile and we are going to do all we can to ensure that things continue to improve. Be praying for energy and love for the doctors as I am sure they are exhausted. Also, pray for us as we continue to work to educate and equip people to purify their water and sanitize their foods. It is so sad to see people suffering and dying from such a preventable disease. Pray pray pray!

I'll keep you updated on it all...
