I'm sorry my post took waaaaay too long get up this week. And last week. And possibly the week before that. But I'm going to start this post with last Wednesday.
As every Wedensday, we had services in someone's home. This time at the house of Marina, and tomorrow night is going to be at our place! We took a family picture before we left... And another on our walk down the long hill to their house through the rainy jungle...
We had singing and a lesson, as usual. And we had the coffee that they fix over an open fire... It's so good!
This Saturday was amazing. We had a work day at the compound in the morning. Volunteers from the church came with their machetes and stuff. They started cutting the grass with them, which is pretty impressive. Mowing with machetes, you would think that it wouldn't be a very good job, but it was actually very well done. We've had a big problem with these little ants that we call zombie ants, and Sonya traced them back to where they were coming from. She grabbed some ant poison and set to work. Here is my attempt at playing with the macro setting on my camera to show the ants taking some of the poison. There is another good picture of them that Mom took of them stealing food in my "Creepy Crawlies Of La Palma" album on facebook. I also had some fun sweeping and mopping with the twins... Maybe a little too much fun... Speaking of the twins, I'd like for you all to pray for their mom, Deyci. She stepped on a nail Sunday and it got infected, we don't know how bad. And after we had all finished working, we served everyone breakfast. It was a pretty fun day :) We had an English service tonight with Teresa, Jose, Norma, Marlon, Lilian, and Victor. It's really nice to be able to completely understand when you're singing praises. And a few minutes ago we had an... adventure. We were sure that everyone left after the services tonight. But when Teresa was about to go home, someone noticed a door open in the school. Thinking that something might be up, she stayed here for a little longer. They called Jose to see if it was worth being worried about. He called the police so they would just go check it out and make sure everything was okay. When they got here, Nathan and I stayed in the other room, but Mom, Dad, and Teresa said that watching them was like something out of a movie. They peeked around the corners and spun around with their guns text-book perfect... But nothing was actually up. We think the new teacher may have left the door open when she went home tonight. Other than that, it has been an uneventful, good day.
