Internet Silence

We haven't been blogging much recently. This could be due to the fact that we don't have our computer right now (Tony brought it back with him to the States when he went on vacation to get it fixed and he isn't coming back until the first week of August. We did hear though that it IS fixed, so YAY!). I think it also just that life is fairly predictable and steady now.

"Life and work as usual". That's how I described this phase in my PC service. Tim and I spent Monday facilitating sessions at the Guy23 (PC group that came to country a year after we did) reconnect conference. Those volunteers, who have only been at site for three months, are feeling the same trepidation, anxiety and frustrations that we were feeling at that stage. Everything then felt new and and was so fraught with BIG emotions. I was glad that Tim and I had climbed over that mountain and arrived at a more pleasant time in our service. I could only offer the newbies words of encouragement that it will get better and, before you know it, life in this strange land will seem normal.

So, right now for Tim and I it is life and work as usual. Not much to report. Projects progress, it is still hot as always, Rasta kitty is doing great, and cold showers don't seem quite so bad anymore. We are looking forward to coming back home in September for a brief jaunt, D+L's wedding, seeing Dal, baby Eevee and family, stocking up on coffee and clothes to last us through the 7 more months of PC servie that we will have left when we return to Guyana. Good times. Hopefully this justifies our relative internet silence and we promise to write more, even life as usual things, when we get our computer back. Love to all back home!
