I have bad news...

I'm sorry but I don't think I will be able to have picture for at least this time and the last one. However, I will attempt to create vivid imagry with my detailed desctiptions. (Or, I'll probably just show you the pictures when I get home).
Okay well, for this week. Umm. I guess we'll start with monday. What..was..Monday..? OH! that's right, my birthday. Yeah, it was pretty cool. I woke up to my roomates singing. And then I went to breakfast and there was more singing. I then, that night, they throw we a suprise party. It was pretty cool. Nicole and Pedro can me a necklace. I think it looks very Dominican. So that was my Birthday. All in all it was a pretty cool day. Oh, and a big Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. Thanks for remembering me even when I'm not in the same country.
It was pretty cool because the next day was Valentine's Day, so we had another party...WITH HEART COOKIES! it was so wonderful. We don't have many sweet things here and Chocolate is supprisingly, super expensive. (Thanks Colleen, when I saw that chocolate you sent me, I pretty much almost cried, it's true.) However, here, they DO have really good (and cheap) fried chicken. Why, I think that when I'm done with this, I might just get some.
The rest of the week went by pretty fast. I'm glad it's the weekend. Hmmm...what else did I do this week. OH YEAH! I got my hair braided... with extentions! It's pretty cheap hear and SO easy to take care of and I LOVE having long hair again. Sorry I can't put a picture on yet, but I will eventually. I think I might have it done agian before I go home.
Well, I think I know where I'm going on my outreach. Guyana (find it on a map) it's in South America, one of the Northermost coutries. Apparently that speak mostly English here so that should be nice, HOWEVER, I am the only American going so hopefully my spanish it pretty good by then. This is the first time this base is sending a group down there and there are only going to be four student and I'm not sure how many leaders. We are going to help a lady down there who has been woking at a YWAM base by herself for many, many years. She has taken up many responibilities in her area and has even been working with and learning the lauguages of the surrounding tribes. I guess it is right on the edge of the jungle. So I'm pretty excited about this. But, again, it's not for sure yet. I think we find out on monday where we are going for SURE. WEll, I know these keep getting shorter and shorter but I'm running out of time so I'm gonna have to get going. We are going to the church on the pastor that was our speaker this week. I really liked him. His lesson what on interpersonal relationships. well, I really better go this this. Hopefully next week, I can get the pictures working again. Adios !
