So I spent Monday and Tuesday sitting in horrible traffic and rain, rain, rain! We've been suffering the repercussions of two different tropical storms for about a week now! (Although I do think I spotted the sun for about 5 minutes yesterday!). The purpose of the painful (1 1/2 - 2 hour) trips was our Women's Ministry bi-annual rummage sale. Monday we set up. And we set up. And we set up. Apparently this time around saw the most donations ever! Tuesday was the sale, but unfortunately the horrible rain kept a lot of people away, so in comparison to other sales, we didn't do so well. The money raised will go to a variety of service projects that the Women's Ministry supports around the country. The left overs are given to the Salvation Army here for distribution.
Monday also saw the start of my Big Tutoring Adventure. I have so far set up a pretty rigorous schedule, and just heard yesterday that I may still be getting a call about another student, as well. I will be working with five students (grades K-12!) for about 12 hours total. I know I will end up being at school a lot more than that, though, for all the planning (for them) and preparing for next year. It's a good thing I love being at CAG so much!!!
Yesterday I also set my schedule to work with a group of high school students from the Chicago area who are coming to Guatemala on a work trip with the organization YoungLife. I am excited and will keep you posted!!
