La Segunda Semana -- Week 2!

My second week in Arroyo! Things are going really well, and I'm adjusting and getting to know everyone. We had a huge group come down from two different churches, so we were super busy as staff. We had a great week, though, doing lots of children's ministry. I was also in charge of a Ladies' meeting in one of the villages, and I and two of the students, Tammy and Abby, translated for the group and the locals. I'm working on my Spanish like crazy! I got a little bit of a sinus infection or cold the last couple of days, but I'm feeling much better now, and I think it was mainly from the dust and the dryness. Sooo, here's some pictures from the week! And I'll update again next week!! :-) ENJOY!


The view from the roof of where we stay in Dr. Arroyo...

The church on the grounds where we stay... we dine and have praise and worship there.

The roof is going to be poured on this building in a couple of weeks, so I'll update the picture! Right now it serves as a place to hang-dry laundry!

REAL Mexican food!!! So yummy! Sister Ramona and her daughter in law prepared it for all 50 something of us!

Jenna (Tammy's daughter) and I standing on the root of this HUGE tree! Jenna's 13 and reminds me of my cousin LeAnn so much!! I love her to pieces.
