Day 7

Last night I asked Tommy if anyone had beaten my record for longest lost luggage. He said no. He uses my story as a worst case scenario for people on their first trip here. lol. Tommy hopes that one year we arrive with no story of our luggage, except that we got them.

This morning I also slept in till 6:30. That sounds funny to say I slept in that early, when I normally get up at 7:30. I got up and went over to the guest house. Daddy and I did a puzzle and then breakfast was ready. It was cereal and pineapple.

After breakfast we went up to the church for class which started at 9. It was kind of hard to understand the teacher but I got most of it. There was a little break, and I moved to a different chair. I picked one not directly under a fan this time. They had turned the fan on full blast. I still got a breeze, just not the chill. Church started at 10:30. Tommy preached. We sang a lot of songs today. I was so glad, because at all the other things we've gone to we haven't sung very much.

After church we had lunch, it was sandwiches. And then we headed over to the lab to start working on things. We're down to five computers to be re-imaged. (I should probably tell you what re-imaging is. Re-imaging is pretty much restarting the computer. But we're restarting them from the same CD so that all the computers are all the same.) Four of the computers CD drives don't work, so daddy it testing their floppy drives to see if we could re-image them that way. The other computer might have a bad hard drive or a dead battery or maybe something entirely different, we're not sure.

A bunch of people came in now and are checking there e-mail. But they are all getting called out to go to work. That was great timing.


I walked down to the guest house to get daddy a water bottle and on the way back I stooped to talk to the kids. I watched the kids play basketball and talked with some kids. I thought it would be neat to play with them so I walked up to the lab to get my house key so I could change into some shorts. My church skirt is restricting, other wise I would have just played in my skirt. I got my key and started walking back and meet Darrell, who had been playing with them. He said the kids had to stop to get their shoes. (The Preston Crest group brought a ton of shoes for the kids here.) So I came back to the lab and wrote my post.

I didn't get to post it though becauese the internet stopped adn we had to go to dinner. We had french fries, meatballs and colslaw. After dinner we went to church. One of the Americans preached. Then we came up to the lab.

I added pictures to the last post.

Grandma, thanks a bunch. I'm glad you were able to finally comment. =] sorry it was such a trouble. Yes I am making sure that I spent more time with the kids this year.

Lucas, thanks so much for reading!! =] If you haven't already you should go back and read last years posts. I refer to things a lot. I'm glad you're liking it. I am having a blast! It is so great to be back here.

Hola friend!

Wow. This sounds like such an amazing trip. I'm starting to worry that you won't want to come home. Seriously though, I'm glad you're having a good time! I can't wait to hear all about it in person.

Tchau and Blessings,
Ashley Lynne

P.S. 6:30?? Sleeping in?? You've got to be kidding me. I mean, I've always thought that you were a bit freakish for gettting up as early as 7:30, but SLEEPING IN till 6:30? You're insane. Truly, truly insane. :D
