Two full days finished and not at all what I expected. Yesterday we started at the Eden Market, which is eventually going to be an incubator for people to start their own business, but currently under construction. The building frame has been built, but there isn't running water or electricity and such yet. However, they do have some cabinets made up of old doors that look really cool. Anyway, yesterday our goal was to dig up and move the bricks that marked where the garden was going to be so that it could be tilled. It was some pretty hefty work, but I personally love manual labor and they let me throw some shot put style to move them which more than made my day. After that our supervisor took us for a tour of the city then got lunch at a local restaurant. We really do much else except preparing for today so that was an easy day.

Today was not exactly what we expected though. We were supposed to go to Elaine, which is a county about half an hour away, but when we got there the local pastor wasn't there to meet us. We waited awhile, but when no one came we got ready to leave right when the pastor called us. Well, apparently, he couldn't make it because he was in the emergency room for one of his members who had been stabbed by the members girlfriend. Well, there goes Elaine. So, we'll come back either later this week or next, but we did try. After that we went to the community center an played baseball with the kids, which I have rediscovered, I am awful at. We went back to the center later on to play in the side room where games and the library is kept so all in all a pretty decent day.



Time for the play by play to stop and its "Entertained Amy" time. These have nothing to do with Helana, but they amused me. Well here goes:
First off, this is my shower until the apartment is ready. See how tall I am? Now, see how tall the shower head is? Yeah. Bet you're jealous. I get to practice my limbo skills AND wash my hair all at once.

I only have one more this time, but I would like you to meet Roscoe, a 5 week old kitten who likes to bite things. In this picture he is quite happily chewing on my finger, but hes really cute so its ok.
