Its a cloudy Sunday and I'm getting ready to take our intern from Utah to the airport, and drop off 6 others that want to eat in the city. If the Nissan still isn't fixed, and if they door that fell of the blue van last week hasn't been fixed, and if the back seat hasn't been put back into the red van it may be my first day to drive the mama-jama 15 passenger Transit. Nothing like busy Sunday traffic where all the rural folks are heading back into the city for another work week!

Last week was full of language lessons, hours of scrubbing laundry since our electric is out a lot with the road construction, prayer, and writing my first ever quarterly report for the Follow-Up team. This week I think I'm heading out with our construction team to fix some rainwater retention tanks' broken gutters, pipes, and pumps that we found while following up at schools previously.

Our director is back from the States, and our first team meeting is Monday morning. Some of you know how rough communication, cooperation, and attitudes on our team are at times, and for those that don't, just know that its the only thing that's had me in tears during my stint so far. Big, necessary changes and confrontations are coming as we cannot keep ignoring the implosion that's happening. I'm more nervous than excited today, but I'm praying that honesty, authenticity, respect, maturity, and tact will create a better environment for all of us and our 84 national employees...
