My fingernails are ALWAYS dirty. 
We have a running shower. 
Also a toilet. 
I clogged that,so my team loves me today.
We constantly have little boys in our house.
im taking that as a hint from God that I will have boys in the future.
three meals a day that make me want never leave this place. 
A ridiculously sarcastic translator named horlyn. 
But we love him.
like a lot, we have already tried thinking of ways to take him with us. 

We have pulled a crap ton of chairs from a place I'm sure they have been
in since before Jesus walked the earth.
we have clipped hedges, raked leaves, and organized books. 
We have made relationships with teenagers that are deemed "difficult"
 we have prayed with little girls and ladies that just crave interaction. 

This month is full. 
Basically every day is something new. 
God has entrusted us with a lot, and we are so humbled.

We are staying with a pastor and his family, with Internet in our backyard. 
To be surrounded with so much joy and godliness is more than I could have asked for. 
I've never felt more protected in my whole life. 

The Dominican has my heart. 
Im sure I'll say that with all of the other countries as well, 
but the Domincan has first dibs.
