Hey guys thot I'd jus give a qwick short update on whats happenin here in Grenada.....
We traveled from SMBI monday night and then tuesday....arriving here in Grenada bout 8:30 yesterday afternoon. After being awake about 40 hrs...we traveled to our places where we will be stayin that night then got a good nights sleep last night. Today I had orientation some this mornin then all those who are plannin on helpin with the Bible School at Laura Church had an orientation and meeting b4 we start that nx wk. Myself and Dustin Martin, another WATER student, are in charge of doing the games and snack. We're plannin on doin the 5 station rotation as we do at home. After lunch myself and Pastor Erlis sanded, stripped, and started repainting a wash machine. We ran into town, not a whole lot different then the states accept that its of course Carribean....after we finished that I had supper then left early walkin to church to jus get some scenery in and get to know the area a little better.....
I've thoroughly enjoyed my stay here so far. I am staying with John and Rachel Brubaker in the La Bouri area of the Island, which is about 10 miles by bout 20. The weather is great...sure beats GA!!! Today all day its been prolly in the 70's and right now its bout 65....its not extremely humid either. However, it is the beginning of the rainy season and it does shower off and on. It's is really awesome here, its great to be able to see "colored" ppl again and gettin to associate with them. The language is great, hardly any language barrier at all, sometime i've got to ask them to slow down a bit but its fairly simple communicating. We'll I'd better go, got about a 15 minute walk back to where I'm stayin thru a "hood."
Thanx again for all ya'lls prayers...etc! Sure appreciated.....ttyl
