Friday, July 10

We were supposed to have the team do work projects in the morning, but everything we were informed needed to be done has already been done. We spent the morning and a large part of the afternoon trying to figure out what we could do and how much money we had to spend on supplies. Finally we were able to get started on painting the surrounding wall. We might have enough to work on a few bathroom projects too, but only small things. I actually napped most of the afternoon because I wasn’t feeling well and I didn’t sleep much last night. The beds here are pretty uncomfortable. We did a night show in Spanish Town. It was only a 25 minute piece during a church crusade service. It was long and we didn’t do much, which was frustrating a little because it didn't feel like we had much of an impact.

It’s not too bad where we're staying, though I think it's the toughest lodging yet; the food is mostly decent, we have air conditioning, and water during the day (just not at night) water pressure is a different story however. There have been some cockroach sightings, which sent the girls screaming. The work so far has been cleaning the wall and beginning to paint it—relatively easy work compared to what we were expecting. The team is having a little trouble adjusting to the rough conditions, but I think with a little encouragement they'll do just fine.
