New Work

It seems like a long time since I got here, probably because I havent been doing much. I told myself the first couple weeks I would just adjust to life here and let people get used to my presence. It seemed like a good plan, except that I get restless very quickly. So yesterday I brought all my cameras out and gave one to Berta and one to Ana. They of course have already gone through two rolls of film. Ana, who is 9 years old, loves my big digital SLR camera. I have been letting her take photos with it as long as the neck strap is on. I will post some of the photos later, I forgot my USB drive today.

You'd think by going to a small rural town in Panama you would get away from things like Facebook and texting, but that is not the case. The majority of kids in the study center are on Facebook right now. Even little Ana and I are friends on Facebook now. And my other host sisters, Emmyline and Carmen, are constantly texting their boyfriends.

I went this morning to the local preschool and asked if they could use my help. She asked what the conditions were, I said there aren't any. Im excited to start helping on Monday!

My time on the computer is up!
