Since Monday we've dug the ditch for the septic tank draining pipe, it needs to be approximately 100 feet long and angled from 6 inches deep at the beginning to 5 feet deep at the end, it's about a foot and a half wide, and we have to cut the brush back, some of which is taller than me, with a machete. We work after school ends, but whenever Andrea is not at school on the days that I am supposed to work with her, I start an hour before school ends. God provides endurance whenever we work and sometimes a little Honduran dude named Angel who will give advice on how to swing a pick-axe, dig a hole, and use a machete to cut grass (man I appreciate lawnmowers). These are the main projects we've been working on in addition to giving and receiving language lessons with the local teachers after school, and teaching every day 7-2. It's amazing, working solely as a volunteer to glorify Christ gives so much more satisfaction than working for money ever has for me, I'm exhausted but I love it. Plus, He has blessed me with a bunch of new blisters, whoop whoop. The little kid is Dylan, he helped me pick up trash around the village with Rachel and Deborah, wouldn't have made it without him!
