Dear Friends and Family,

The past few weeks have been busy, exciting, and fun. We currently have the drill team and a few of the repair teams in the garage needing work on their vehicles. Doug is running around like crazy trying to get everybody back on the road so we can continue drilling wells. He has been really busy with stuff, and on top of that we are changing some of the regulations in the garage. Things to help people and projects run smoothly together. It is good stuff, but just being implemented in a hard time. Please pray for strength and wisdom through all of this.
Personally these weeks have been really exciting. Doug has been really busy so I haven’t had much work in the garage. So I have been working around the house. Doing handi man projects. I fixed the sink, lights, cd player, just little things. I have also been working in my garden which is coming along nicely. I have lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, green beans, and cilantro. Everything is doing well. I do have to make a few more rows for when I thin all the plants out, but it should be a very good garden. Mom, you should be proud of me. ;)

I have spent a good amount of time with my friends. We have gone to the river to go swimming a few times and we take the camera with us to take video and pictures. I have put them on my computer and using the handi imovie I made a video. They loved it. Soccer has been going really well too. We have not had any fights in the past few weeks which is abnormal. Sometimes there is someone who gets mad and they start throwing fists, but lately everyone has seemed calmer. Its nice. We played a real competition game yesterday and won 2-0. It was fun.
I am very thankful for my time here and am getting along very well. I hope that all of you are doing fine. I would love to hear from you all.

Please keep me in your prayers as I only have a couple months left and still have a good bit to get done here. Thank all of you for your continued support.
