Last night it rained and guess who forgot to bring in the clothes off the clothes line? I've never had to line dry my clothes before coming here. It's kind of a nice way for me to start my day when it's sunny. Not quite sure what the plan is when it rains. The other thing we quickly learned about the effects of rain down here is that when you have tile floors inside and mud and gravel outside...well you can guess the rest.

As the day progressed, one of our dorm parents, Raul, came by and gave my dog an injection for her allergies. Later, I discovered I had lost gas for my oven and water heater. Within the hour I mentioned it one of the men that serves here, Julian, had it fixed. While that was being done, I went out to the patio and worked with some of the little boys on their reading. I can't get over how eager they are to learn.

One of the little boys here has been telling me all week that his mother is coming to visit him on Saturday. He wants me to take a picture of her for him. I hope she comes and I hope I'm able to meet her and take her picture. I have no idea why her children are here. It could be for so many different reasons.
