We went to Rio 3 on yesterday with Jim and Betty. It was a great day to really open up my own perspective. Although I have seen these places many times, it still changes me each time I encounter the situations of the people there. We stoped into a ladies house, no bigger than a walkin closet, and prayer with her and her mom. Her mom cut her anckle doing work and has a bandage on it but it wont heal because of the heat and unsanitary conditions. she is 82 years old and she is going blind as well. It is sad to see those situation, but you have to find God in all the crazyness of it. when we got back to the church we fed the kids and moms a meal, and then bought all the kids an ice cream. they were so happy and hyper!! 
We are working on a multi purpose center next to the church for a larger worship space and also for the kids to have a safe place to hang out. The area is about 70 feet by 50 feet, and needs to be lowered baout 3 feet. so we began digging up the area and moving the dirt. it was crazy but we got alot of work done. still lots more to go!! some of the boys started to help us. I think they were just in it for the wheel barrow rides haha. They are good kids though. We ate at Pollo Loco for dinner! sooo good!
Today was my day off. It was relaxing to sleep in and get some laundry done. Shaun leaves tomorrow morning vewry early. It is sad to see him leave! we will miss him! Tonight we had some fellowship with the other interns. Kurt and I are trying to just bring us together more as a team, so we are meeting in groups once a week in addition to our week meeting as a whole. It was great to talk to the other interns and find out more about them and there personal walk with Christ.Adam

Good luck with the digging project! Looks like quite a challenge, but I'm sure you're up to it. Glad to see you're getting so much out of the experience this year, too. Keep up the good work.
