Well, there is always something here, I tell you. Last night some of the dorm kids and High school kids were having a bonfire in our fire pit in celebration of the fact that they finished the Yearbook (yahoo!!! Lots of late nights there). Well, one of the boys got gasoline for the fire instead of kerosene. SO when one of our dorm boys went to light it, his face got burned. The nurse says that it is second degree burns. He is pretty miserable. Pray for him. His name is Colton.
All of the high schoolers leave on Friday for two weeks to take a 30 hour boat ride to Nabire and then they will take an airplane into a local village where they will be working for two weeks. They will set up dental clinics with the dentist that is going with them, and a medical clinic along with the nurse. Also doing clinics on AIDS prevention and HIV. During that whole time they also visit and help in the local schools and orphanages among many, many other projects. They do this every year at a different location. What an amazing opportunity for them to put others before themselves, and live out God’s love. They always make such an impact on the people of the community along with encouraging the missionaries and coming back changed themselves.
The basketball tournaments are still going on. Yesterday the Indonesian team that was to play our girls team didn’t show up at all, so it was a forfeit. Our boys team went into overtime and then lost by two points. It was a nail biter!
I got a trap today to try and catch the rat that has been living in our kitchen causing me stress. There is a guy here that has a snake and wants me to give him the rat after we catch it. Doesn’t that sound like great fun? Haha.
Love you
Rachel
