Week/Semana 3 – Brian

Three weeks have already come and gone. Wow! Every day is a new adventure it seems. One day there’s no power in most of the city, the next the ATM doesn’t work (yes, 1 in the entire town), and the next we’re being asked to many of the friends houses for a meal.

I want to run through some photos as these are what everybody wants anyway.

Ministry Days:

While we were in service a huge group of students were setting up for a sort of parade.

One of the stairways up to some houses. Yes, this is normal. Este es normal.
