That's what I did yesterday morning, outside of the staff lounge...tossed a baby mouse by the tail into the trash.
Bible study was awesome last night, and I felt like I was on a fast-forward into motherhood. The couch was filled with two moms with two babies, and squished in the middle was my friend, Erin, who is pregnant.
Today, I toured Las Villas Anacaonas, where work teams will stay. Shelly calls 'em "Little Miami," which is a great description! Imagine little white concrete brick cabanas with lawn furniture on the patio and a small pool nearby. MAN. The flora here is absolutely gorgeous and breath-takingly, vibrantly beautiful. Wish I could take that home in my suitcase in four months. Who knew on a tropical island, I could look into the sky and see pine trees above bright, floral vines.
Today's been a hodge-podge of various activities and learning new things. No English class -teaching for me today.
Tonight, I might head over to Whitney's and bake a cheesecake and other goodies for a party tomorrow at her house. Shh! It's a surprise for Erin, whose birthday was yesterday. We're having a Doulos womens staff tea party.
This weekend's pretty packed -- almost feels like home! Party tomorrow, spending the night with Whitney, Saturday's "Americana" day of movies, shopping and eating in Santiago, and Sunday's Super Bowl Sunday (as you well know).
PRAYER REQUESTS & PRAISE -
PRAISE!
~I learned more about workteams today.
~God showed me answers to questions I had in the Bible about lots of different things that have been on my mind.
~Even though my day was chaotic or unorganized at different times, I had a huge peace only He can give.
PRAYER REQUESTS
~I've been really sick for a long time -- including before I arrived. Nasty bronchitis cold type deal that I really need and want to go away!
~I have something wrong with my right big toe, and I would like it to heal properly and fast.
~HUGE prayers need to be lifted up for a past teacher from Doulos. Her name is Kim, and she had to leave the Dominican Republic for health reasons. Her health has continued to decline, from everything to acquiring cellulitis in her leg to losing weight rapidly from her body refusing nutrients. PLEASE pray for her healing and for God to bless her with lots of wonderful care.

Enjoy your busy weekend! Glad to see you are doing well with some minor exceptions - I will pray for the big toe and cold.
