Photo day pictures!

So we got the official photo day pictures back, thought i would share a few:
The first are the guys from my dorm. There are 3 dorms for 24 of us, so 8 to a dorm.
Next is my cargroup, they have us all split up to go to host congregations, so I am with one of the instructors and his wife (Victor and Naida Fernandez) along with 2 other brothers.
The last photo is the informal group picture. The official group photo will have to wait untill I graduate. :-)

The view from the back of the class

So of course "Y"oung gets put in the very back. . .
We are between classes here: good time for a photo :-)

Some pictures

First day of class!
Study study study
The dorm building
Thats the edge of the dorm on the left, and the building with the kitchen, dining room, library and classroom to the right. And you can see the gazeebo in the back. :-)
My roommates - on the weekends we pick up supper at the kitchen and take it back to the rooms.

Backlog

So, here we are! It still isnt really the first day of class, we have a day
or two of training - how to get the corners right on the bed, how to pull
the right weeds, how to scrub the floor . . . Oh yeah, they tell us the
kitchen floor only gets scrubed on wed and fri - anybody want to guess what
two days my group is assigned to clean the kitchen? But its all good; once
you learn the tricks for everything, and work as a team, should be smooth
sailing :-)

-------------------

Ok, so. . . As of right now it looks like my phone doesnt want to send
email. . . But thats ok, i can write whatever and send it all at once when I
am in the city.

I was saying before about how the first few days are nothing but training in
the *trabajo fisico*
I spent the morning with a machete, chopping down a small forest; and the
afternoon was dish detail. . . Again.
I think we need to make some cardboard signs that say "will work for bible
instruction".
But its like an RBC project, we're all happy to work.

We had our Thursday meeting last night. There are still a few bugs to be
worked out with our host congregations (where we will go in small groups) so
all 24 students, together with the instuctors and their wives, went to the
local hall where the couples that take care of the assembly go. Lets just
say we packed the hall :-) I think we shook the walls whenever we sang.
Best of all, the first song of this weeks meeting? 85

For some reason, as we were singing, this big cloud of mosquitos flew in and
lodged themselves in everyones eyes. . .

---------------------------

Ok, so that was all stuff from the first week - I tried to send it a few times but it didnt go through . . . :-(
but at least its up now :-)
