day two, and all i am is me

it has rained her for the last week i think. i've only been here since yesterday, but it's what i've heard. in case i didn't say this before, my missionary, the one who i'm interning under isn't here yet. but he is part of the group so there are a few people here that are kind of looking after me. so far it is jen, lisa, jackie, and hannah is the other intern. i can't put up pictures right now because i can't find the cord the connects my camera to the computer. sorry, i'll try to get that fixed as soon as possible so you all can see what i see.

in the morning, hannah, jen, jackie and I went running at the park. we had to walk to it and it was a walled in area. not too big with a track about five feet wide winding around it. people would walk and run on it.

i don't have internet in the apartment i am staying in for the time being. so i'm using the internet at jen, hannah, and jackie's apartment. it's the bottom floor of the dormitory we will be using to house teams that come. the second floor has two large rooms with bunks 3 high and bathrooms. the 3rd floor is open all the way around with tables and a kitchen. i'll try to get pictures as soon as i can.

the streets here are small and the drivers are crazy. pretty much the rules of the road don't matter as long at you honk your horn. the buildings are close together.

i believe i said earlier that you can't drink the water from the tap. there are small stores on a lot of corners and streets that have big jugs of water for sale.

i have a shower in my apartment but last night and today the water wasn't running when i went to take a shower. this happens a lot i guess. there are big plastic trash cans in the showers though that collect water when you take a shower while the water is working. so i used a cup and have had to take cold cup baths the last two days. it's hot enough here that it's not that big of a deal to use cold water.

hey, thanks for reading. keep praying. it will be hardest in these next couple weeks because i feel so weak or useless not being able to speak spanish.
