down time

hey everyone..i know i haven't blogged in a few days. i have been taking it easy this past weekend, i needed an emotional break. i spent alot of time with the San Diego group who were with my cousin Phyllis...we had a lot of fun...after packing food for over 200 families on saturday, we went to the national rainforest (like 15 min from where i'm staying) and had lunch. a new group from nashville/tennessee/other places is here, and there are over a hundred of them so it's been crazy. it just makes for some awesome singing at devos!!! sunday we went to janet's house and took a tour...they are getting so much done that i'm not taking pictures until right before i leave. we had church (with the SD group) in janet's garden...so cool. monday was alot of crazy running around as usual. janet and i moved some stuff to santa anna to stay for a few days (same place my mom stayed while she was here) while gayle is still here. this morning gayle and i worked in the pharmacy for a few hours - in the dark no less because the electricity was out for 9 hours today...for no good reason, that is. i went back up to the clinic pharmacy later in the day when the electricity came back on. it is very peaceful and quiet here, an atmosphere janet and i both decided we needed for a few days. i am still hoping to shadow an orthopedic surgeon while i'm here, the surgeon is a good friend of Tim and Janet, so i hope it will work out. as for now it is nice to have a break from everything, but i'm also eager to get back to work.
