Cold showers ....................
Nothing wakes you up better than a freezing cold shower! YIKES! It was wonderful in September when it was 40 degrees however it has been raining for a few days and the tempurature is low for here. Make the shower that much colder............
Thankfully it is hot and sunny today!
Being Christmas Eve we organized presents for all 80 children, labelling, wrapping and sending them to the different houses. Very much looking forward to sharing Christmas with the children!
We've brought the boys over to the "property" from the little boys house to get them running around. They go a bit stir crazy at their house as there is not alot of room to run. Thankfully 3 of the 4 houses have internet so getting online hasn't been a problem. Finding the time to do it is though!
20 boys at the little boys house with Linzi and I "holding down the fort" has been great. Linzi lived here for 10 months and is now in nursing school in Iowa. She is back visiting for Christmas. I could not have a better mentor! She is showing me the ropes both in the house and out in the community. We've been able to take the motorbike taxis to the border to pick up stuff in Dajabon, walked through the neighborhood to take one of the boys to visit his mother and siblings and talk alot about life here.
Next I'm going to work towards getting some pictures up on my flickr account so I'll send a message once that is done.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!
