Good Morning, Everybody
I need about $200 dollars to pay for the rest of my stay here in Mexico. The predicted
cost of living that Wycliffe gave me was $800-$1000 dollars a month. I have been living
on $400 a month.
Thank you all for the support you have already given.

This week (and next) OCS (Oaxaca Christian School) is enclosing a large octagonal thing to be class rooms and a chapel. So Mon-Wed I worked on the tin roof and today I worked on framing for drywall. Good times.
On Wednesday I went with the Andersens to “their” village. The landscape was awesome, and I’m not one to use that term lightly. It was very nice to be around green again. And “the gorge” is the fourth thing to be put on my list of beautiful things. This was a bit random sorry. There are pictures at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2000686&l=88a66&id=1477770056
So, apparently the water wasn’t clean. I woke up yesterday morning and could barely hear anything. I bought some drops from a farmacia and they seem to be working. But the lady at the farmacia said it will probably take around four days to completely regain my hearing, blah.
Yesterday I went swimming, my first time since coming down here (I am not counting some swimming that I have mentioned in the past because the water was to disgusting). Then at night I watched Sense and Sensibility and decided that I like P and P better and that the title doesn’t make much sense.
Please pray for me, I have not had a restful nights sleep all week.
Yesterday we had a surprise birthday party for Tim Loker. It was such a surprise that he thought it was for someone else (his birthday is in a month and a half). Afterwards I went to tacos with the Andersens and Beathams. Today I have started to linseed oil the playground, blah.
Today I went with Mrs. Andersen to Puebla (where everybody has been at camp for four days). After a rally thing we went to Carl Jr’s for lunch, followed by Krispy Kremes (amazing). After lunch I transferred myself from the Andersens’ car to the bus with all the campers. The ride home was very interesting (there weren’t enough seats for everyone) and fun.
Today was the last day of FES. We had a closing ceremony then watched a movie. When I got back from the movie my toilet was gone. Apparently the pipe in the wall behind it had a leak and the only way to get at it was by removing my toilet. So for a while I will have to do a bit of walking to relieve myself.
Today all the youth are leaving for four days. This means I will have nobody to do stuff with for the rest of the week. So I am going to work on puzzles and watch Pride and Prejudice (and read some too).
