Hello, hello...things are continuing to go well down here...it's just been a really tiring week, lol. We had another team here from Tennessee so we went to Mexico quite a bit, which I love, but it's definitely tiring. We built more picnic tables and helped out at the orphanage again. This time we did quite a bit of digging...I think I've shoveled more this week than I ever have in my life, lol. The orphanage is digging a new septic tank area, so we worked on that for a while. It was great to see the kids again, though. They are so joyful and fun to be around, yet they have so little. It's just so humbling.
This week all of UTRI is headed to Missouri! We're leaving on Tuesday morning bright and early for the 16-hour drive. I'm pretty pumped! It'll be nice to see a change of scenery, and I love road trips, so it'll be great! We're still not 100% sure what we're going to be doing up there, we just know it's going to be street ministry. I think I'm going to be taking my guitar and setting up on the street corner to play with a few other people from the church up there that we're going to be working with. Springfield, MO is apparently a pretty artsy town, so people jamming on the street isn't anything new, which is awesome! I'm super excited! I think the tentative plan is to have a coffeehouse type thing close to where we're going to be playing and giving away free coffee. I'll let you guys know how it goes! I just have to learn about 20 songs between then and now...lol...
In other news...one of my best friends, Amanda, got engaged this past weekend, and she asked me to be her Maid of Honor! I'm so excited for Amanda and her fiance, Tim. It's going to be craziness, but I can't wait to help them out in any way I can! :-) Yay!
So...all is going well. I'm halfway through the 6 weeks, still having a blast, but missing everyone from home. I'm looking forward to these next 3 weeks, but I'm also looking forward to being back home and enjoying some summertime in TN! Hope everyone is doing well. I'll try to update again next weekend!
Here's a link to some pics!
