Quote of the day: “Each day is a new life. Seize it. Live it.” – David Guy Powers

Journal by: Samantha

Another bright and early morning after a rough, sleepless night for some. After eating breakfast we talked with Amo and Ester for a while, and Ester broke the news to use that she had gotten Malaria for the second time. We all hope and pray she gets better quickly. Afterwards we went to our second day of teaching and for some, their first day of construction. They were brave enough to face the heat (and apparently some other critters- scorpions and such). After work we headed back for lunch where Tyler was sure to finish off all the French fries. We then returned to the library for the always enjoyable time reading to, or with the kids- or teaching them computer skills. We then ventured through towns and traffic to the bead factory and managed somehow to not pop a tire. At the factory we witnessed the entire bead making process.

Another bumpy ride back to St. James, just in time to enjoy some soup and popcorn, and share some laughs over a great game (with no name) after dinner. It seems like I had just got to know everyone and already everyone seems comfortable around each other. It’s so sad to think four of us will be leaving soon.
