Most Random Post Ever

Well, another full day of work behind us, several more to go! I'm embarrassed to say that I'm (Alyssa writing) not exactly sure what everyone did today, but I think it was similar to yesterday....electrical endeavors, cleaning/organizing of a disastrous tool shed, preparing gourmet meals, fixing of small engines, perhaps a welding project or two, and flying of small airplanes.

Okay, not the plane part.

It was quite a hot and humid day, and tonight everyone seems more subdued than usual. Several members of the American group are feeling pretty sick with the whole cough/cold thing, so we're praying and hoping that they get well soon and that everyone else stays healthy!!

With nothing major to report of today, let me share a random little somthin' somethin' with you.

The driving around here is pure and utter craziness!! Just thought I'd throw that out there. A public service announcement of sorts. As many people as possible cram onto the back of a vehicle, be it a cattle truck, a Toyota half-tun, or a motor bike, each person carrying as many earthly possessions as possible. And then, with a wing and a prayer, off they go to their destination, hoping that they arrive with no casualties.

A typical ride consists of dodging children playing ball on the side of the road, swerving around rusty cars driving slowly, bouncing through potholes the size of a small canyon, and barley keeping the vehicle on two wheels as it careens around the curves. All the while, the passengers are holding on for dear life, life flashing before their eyes.

But, I hear that an auto accident is an uncommon occurrence. :-)

As a side note, a Gecko tried to kill Aimee today. In Aimee's own words: "So here I was in the cabana, and um, there was gecko on the table, and it was really gross. So I casually tried to shoe it off, you know. And um, it spazzed, started gnashing it's teeth, spewing venom and hissing at me, kinda flopped around in the air a couple times, then flung its deadly body at my face, then chased after me on the ground, til I shrieked like a little girl, with Chris and Phil sitting there laughing hysterically at my childishness. It tried to kill me, I swear! I thought I was gonna die!"

Sorry there wasn't much to post about today. Don't think the team will ever let me write on here again :-) But know that we're all doing well. Pray for restful sleep, that we'll stay healthy/safe, and that we'll be a blessing to each person we come in contact with.
