“What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.”

-Pedro Arrupe

This morning was really fun. Margarito drove us towards the women's shelter to work on the sewage tank project. We removed all of the rocks out of the hole using a very sketchy looking rope and pulley. It was crazy when the local workers said that the hole had taken them over four months and that they weren't even half way done in finishing the hole. The work that we've done isn't nothing like what the local people do which I find it really crazy of how much work they do and how long it takes them. Right now we're reading to the farm to help Moi so we have to go so I will blog again when we get done at the farm.

    Aloha Melissa-
    Sounds like you are having fun, moving the rocks; clearing paths & such! Hope you watch out for centipedes moving those rocks! Keep up the good work and the family looks forward to your next blog.
