Reptiles and Insects, oh my!

So the weather is getting warmer here and the snakes are beginning to appear. I have yet to see one for myself and I'm praying that I will not be introduced to a Rattlesnake. My fellow summer staff had the pleasure of seeing a snake that was 5-6 ft long!
This morning I was jolted awake by my roommate who was hopping around the room screaming. There was a humongous bug crawling around the room. I started freaking out and I told her to kill it. So what does she do? She grabs MY shoe! After she killed the bug we smelt a lovely aroma, she had killed a stink bug! Yuck!
Anyways, I have always found flies annoying but they are quite frequent here. They buzz around you all the time and they never leave you alone. When I first arrived here I thought they were bees so I would frantically run around trying to escape them. People looked at me funny. Now, I just put up with them and I let them land on me. They're still gross but there are way worse things here....

2 weeks down...

I can't believe that I only have six more weeks to go. Each day seems to drag on but overall time is flying. Today is my first day where I have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do. Sadly, I woke up this morning to discover that I am sick. =( Most everyone has gone into town to hang out but I'm still at camp taking it easy.

Well this past week was my first week in which I worked with an American group. I definitely have some improvement to do, but it was a good experience. My favorite part of the week was doing the vacation bible schools. I love spending time with the children! I'm looking forward to this next week. We will be working at a church in the morning and doing a VBS at one of the poorer colonies.

Please be praying for my health, Spanish, and trust in the Lord.
