Food first: Last night we had some chicken, scalloped potatoes and salad.
Snacks (chips and such were a plenty at the game party)
breakfast ... missed it today. Sleep is good. But since i've had breakfast two days now, i have offically eaten more of them here than at Spencer Lake over my whole six year run at North Ridge. Once again... sleep is good and morning eating is overrated.
American automobileage at its best. The Chevy... gas guzzler at only $9 a gallon.
Yesterday was another day filled with working at the church and passing out flyers. Which led up to our evening event… Netherlands vs Argentina world cup game. We were not sure how this would go over, but there was a fantastic response. A sea of orange sitting in the sanctuary cheering on the home team. All the Americans were disappointed with the 0 – 0 tie. The nationals understood that this still earned one point and both teams were advancing anyway. Guess we have a bit to learn concerning football. 150 - 200 here (not so good at counting people...)
Today are continuing our work around the church… last day. The students have mad skills when it comes to manual labor. Painting, cleaning, sanding, making banners, scraping moss, mulching… now if there was only some way to harness this power back home. Chores? What mean chores? Zero complaining from the students, what a great team.
One thing I did learn… that if you hit a bike (even if it’s their fault… ) you get in big trouble. Don’t worry the biker is going to be alright… just kidding.
Pics will be coming a bit later... minor network troubles.

sounds like fun. hey, i noticed from an e-mail i got that Kent Hulbert is there with you. i'm not sure about this, but i think he is the guy who spoke at that camp i did music for up north four summers ago w/ daryn and the gang. anyway, just another case of what a small world it is (in the wi/no. mi. a/g district).
