This is Abi and Brittany today. We continued digging more of the foundations for the new Creole church in the morining. After lunch we painted some more pictures on the walls and finished others at the school. All the ladies are learning part of a new dance, we are begining to learn ´Mighty to Save´ in Spanish. We have a very very amazing dance teacher, named Daniela, who has confidence in all of us. We are going to attempt to dance at CCC when we return to the States. It has rained several times and we enjoyed every bit of the down pours except that it became very muggy afterwards. We all have at least attempted to converse with the people here. Abi was able to translate her first Spanish conversation with the new friend she has made and it turns out that her new friend is also teaching Brittany how to play trombone. While the others were painting in the music room, Brittany and I were painting with the men in the dining room and we got to stand on the tables to paint the ceiling. While Brittany was practicing with Colson and the rest of the band I got to listen to them play some very cool songs. Colson is our friend who we have met on several occasions. I have been able to learn more Spanish from listening to the people here and from the many conversations I have attempted. As a group, I think we are becoming more like a big family rather than just close friends. We have been having an amazing time and look forward to having some more fun tomorrow. Hasta luego, mis amigos!

This is Carolyn... I had a very interesting bartering experience for Larimar Rocks at the curb in front of our hotel. He spoke no English and I speak no Spanish, but I got some rocks and he got some $$$.
Hotel yes, we are at a hotel- it´s nice and has air conditioning for most of us!!! They have a resturant too.For breakfast we have lots of great fruit-pineapples, papyas, and mangos, and watermelons, and limes- we usually eat at 8 then off to dig in the trenches for the foundation for a new church then back at 12 to shower and eat a nice lunch. After lunch we go to the school for painting and such till almost 8 then we have our supper.
Happy Fathers day!!! We will be going to church at a members home then we will come back for our lunch;then we get to go to the nearby waterfalls to play and relax in the cold water and enjoy the beach. In the evening we will back to church for the evening service. !!!c u later!!!
