Monday as told by the Great Dougus

Today we went to Vision-land, a 47 acre piece of land about an hour away from us. On this land the Hale's (the missionaries that we have been working with) plan to build a school, a Bible College, and a baseball camp. When we got to vision-land, the guys went to work immediately. Brian went to work picking and shoveling rocks and the rest of us began to go through the land for rocks to pick up and put in piles. After doing that for about three hours we went back to the compound. To our amazement, the hot water was fixed and the toilet worked. After almost every guy took a shower; we went out to give out tracts. Me, Brian, Josh, Zach, and Carlos (a member of Pastor Hale's church) teamed up and went into town. We all learned the phrase, "Hola, Como estas? Una invitacion especial de la iglesia bautista. Gracias" Even Zach learned this phrase. We also got to see a skinned goat hanging in front of the shop. For the rest of the day we have free time. Me, Miss Stevenson, Anna, Zach, and Kyle are playing Spades. Heather and Josh are at the pool.
Thank You,
Dougus
P.S. Horseus was not after Zach it just wanted to kill me.
