#6 Fellowship, Work and Physical Battles
Buenos días de Mexico (Good Morning from Mexico)
Today is Friday the 21st of August [ed.: september]. After writing the newsletter on last Thursday, I fixed the spotlight I had been working on earlier in the week.
On Friday, installed three lights on the second floor in the window canopies. Friday night I went to the Agee’s house for dinner with the Kuglers. There I met Matthew Agee and Andrew (I forget his last name). I also met some of their friends. this made me really happy because these were the first people my age I had met. I ended up staying and talking to Mat until about 10 (we got there at 6).
On Saturday I rested until about 6 o’clock when I went to the church for the Independence Day celebration. While there some youth of the female
variety invited me to spend the night in the church with the rest of the youth group. I decided to stay and had great fun watching movies, playing games, and attacking people with mattresses. We ended up going to bed about 4 in the morning.
On Sunday after church I went to Mitla with the Kuglers for the SIL’s Independence Day celebration.
On Monday after class at the office, I took pictures of electrical boxes for Nate so he could send them to the electrician who wired the building to find out where cords went. Monday night, Monty came back, and stayed until about 4 in the morning. Because of this I stayed home on Tuesday and rested.
On Wednesday I put together Rosy’s new desk at the office (Rosy is the boss of the office).
On Thursday I carried lumber and set up rooms for painting. Today I continued setting up for painting, including installing conduit on the wall of one of the rooms.
I am moving to Mitla on Monday, please pray that this will go smoothly. Also please pray that Monty will stay away from me, as well as any other sickness.
