After another morning of teaching, I spent my afternoon setting up 10 computers in the new lab at St. Laurent's. It was fun organizing the computers and making sure the desks were fit into place, and even getting some help from some students. below you can see the before and after pictures. there are still 8 more that we will be able to fit in the room, too.
Other than that, it was a pretty normal day today. Two Italian volunteers arrived yesterday and will be staying for about 3 weeks. They are helping with the farm, working with the cattle mainly i believe.
Very much looking forward to the Jubilee and all of the guests who will be coming for that, including Fr. Bob from SJU! And then they will stop having singing practice for 3 hours every afternoon in the lawn outside of my room. That gets pretty repetitive, even if the kids voices are cute.
Here is one of Charlie and another guest that is here helping prepare for the Jubilee. Charlie spent some time this morning transcribing a song that she sang to him.
per Laura's request, below is a picture of the food. By "the" food i mean this is what i had for lunch today, and it is pretty much the same that we eat at every meal. I am getting used to it, though :)
Another day tomorrow...

Ben! Wow. Thats all I can say. What amazing experiences. Just read through all of your posts so far. I plan on keeping close tabs on your exploits. Good luck teaching! Although I don't have experience with the language barrier, I can relate to "winging" it. Hey, and maybe you can give Jake some pointers on teaching band when you get back. With setting up the computers - such a common skill, yet so valuable where you are. Interesting. Anyway, I think this whole thing is incredible. I hope to do something similar someday. Inspiring. God bless, Ben.
