Well we've still had a bunch of problems to deal with, but even with all of them this week was super sweet. Our power's been out at our house for this last little bit now cause we were having problems with the bank activating our card for utilities (it's all good though cause we've just been staying in the church). And we've had to get a few car repairs, but since our card isn't working we've had to use our money for food and wait for the extra funds to be transferred into our account, so we've had to brake into our hurricane storage a little bit. Luckily though we finally got our card activated so we should be good now.
Hurricane season has also officially started out here. Nothing big is probably going to come in before I head back to Puerto Rico, but we've heard it will start to rain a lot more. And they weren't kidding. It's been raining so hard these past couple of days. Fortunately, we got lended two umbrellas the other day cause otherwise we would have been soaked.

We got to make a trip to the Kalinago Territory as well this week. That was super cool. We're teaching a very well known family in the territory, and the the wife had started up a nursing program for the people in the Carib reserve. They invited us down for the graduation ceremony. On our way out and back from the territory there was a huge thunderstorm with flood warnings. It was pretty crazy and super cool cause it's about an hour drive through the middle of the jungle with sooo much rain. The graduation ceremony was an awesome experience though. The building we had it in didn't have any power so we had to use a generator with one light to keep it lit when it got dark. We also got to meet the Kalinago chief and some other cool people up there, and try some native Carib food.

This morning we also got the chance to be invited to a hand off ceremony at the Dominica college. The church had donated 29 laptops and 10 projectors to the college, so we and our branch president got invited up for that. It was super cool to see how much of a help that is going to be to them.

The work out here is going great! We haven't had quite as much time to go out and teach, but the chances we do get have been awesome.
