Hola everyone. I hope that every one's summer was good and that they could rest up for the beginning of school or whatever. It has been a few weeks since I posted, because the past post was from my dad, I don't think that it counts. So I am posting now.
Not too much has been going on over this week, nothing too big. A team from my church came down last weekend to teach English camps in the development. A lot of the missionaries here have been helping with that and so have I. I am not really a "teacher" but more of a "helper" or you could also call me, "the white board holder". I don't really hate the English camps, but I do not really like them very much. Just kinda boring and old. If you all know what I mean, probably not but oh well. Although I did get over the fact that I had to help and try to have fun, even though it was kinda hard.
Things have been average, I have been alright, and on a scale from 1-10; I would say life right now is a 6. But is it a lot better than it was a few weeks ago, a lot. I am so glad that my parents made me go to that village to help with the medical caravan; it was one of the best things, if not the best thing, I did so far this summer. I met so many people and met so many more really cool people. I made some really close friends that I can keep in touch with and still stay close. I was helped so much while I was there too. God also taught me something really cool there: if you take your thoughts of yourself and your problems, and put all your energy and thoughts on others and their problems; you will be helped. I learned this very important lesson while I was there, and I do not think I will easily forget it. God blessed me so much there with help, lessons, and friends that I will never forget. I will probably not do another blog for a while because I am going on vacation next week with my family. I can not wait, it is going to be so awesome. I will be able to see my sisters and my brother in law too. I have not seen them since Christmas so it is going to be intense. Please keep up the prayer for everyone serving here and for me, I desperately need it. Also pray for my sister, because she had surgery today on her finger. I think it was last week she was at work and cut her finger really bad in a glass. Please keep her in your prayers as well as my family and everyone here.
I also want to say thank you to my youth group for what they sent down for me, it means a lot.

Yes, I have seen you WhiteBoardMan! It feels so weird not to see the group at all during this camp, since I'm tied up at the bookstore, but I guess that's life. I have driven by the classes 2 or 3 times though and saw you with the white board! and doing other things too... I have to admit... I feel the same way as you do about English Camps but I know you have been a great help, and people will see you here in Los Heroes and know you're one of those 'nice people' who teaches English! It's a good testimony and opens doors with people. Don't do a grammatical check on this entry. I think it's mostly one big run-on sentence.
I like your lesson learned in the Medical Caravan too... that's the technique I always used in Brazil when I felt down, didn't get any letters etc. It does work!
By the way I talked to Efra the other day and he was saying that you're doing well with Spanish and you have a good accent! So carry on! Take care.
