Hello. Not much exciting has happened these past few days. Tonight the work team comes from Utah or something to lay cement (if you lay it) at the school property. Right now, three of the school rooms lack a ceiling. Needless to say they are currently unusable until the end of the week. We spent the bulk of today preparing for their arrival and we'll pick them up tonight. Anyway, I'm excited to have them show up. It will be great to have the opportunity to work with them throughout this next week and get to know them.
Also, tonight I was walking out of the grocery store and my sunglasses fell. Before I realized it a guy handed them to me. When I turned around to retrieve them I noticed a Grenadian college student I had met while playing soccer the beach about a week ago. It was one of those things where he was walking and I was caught off-guard so I didn't get a chance to talk to him. I hate when weird things like that happen. But, we acknowledged each other with a smile and the universal man nod. Anyway, when I had talked to him before he had invited me to play soccer with him and some other guys on Sundays. I've not been able to show up yet but I'm very much looking forward to the time that I have a chance. I really hope to play some more soccer here. I love soccer. One of the things I love about it is that it is such a widely appreciated sport. I think it's the most popular in the world. It is such a blessing to be able to connect with people of different cultures and sometimes different languages through a mutual love for the game. My uncle also mentioned that I might be able to instruct a soccer clinic on Fridays with the kids from his primary school. So, we'll see how that turns out but I love to use the abilities I've been blessed with to bless others so I am all for it.
Other than that, I started a new song which is always exciting for me.
If you're the praying type please pray for my spiritual growth here and for opportunities for me to really get to know people.
