Eternal Summer

So, almost time for our second Sabbath in Pagudpud. Apparently I am supposed to play piano for church tomorrow. A lady just mentioned this to me at vespers an hour or so ago and hastily showed me about 1000 hymns I needed to practice. I am not pleased. Most of these hymns are too hard for me, as I have not played the piano consistently for a couple years. So I will probably just be playing the right hand, and they will just have to live with that. However, Rizal just told us that the power is supposed to be off tomorrow from 7 in the morning till five at night...the piano is electric...so unless they turn on the noisy old generator...Acappella! Woohoo. I suppose I will have to get used to playing the piano up front sometime...but I would like to practice a little more first!

It feels really late hear, even though it is just a little after ten. It was another hot day...it looks like it is supposed to be hot all next too. Isn't the rainy season supposed to start by now? I am sitting outside and finally feel perfecttly comfortable...it is probably upper seventies right now, but the humidity always seems less at night which is really nice.

We all kind of feel like we are just twiddling our thumbs until the doctor arrives. The hospital administrator promised that he would be here by the beginning of October, but that is still two weeks away. Today we did more inventory of the clinic--almost all the medicines have expired--and went to the market and the beach. We hiked almost all the way to Saud beach. It was fun, and we played in the water along the way and I worked on my tan. :) Tonight, we made spaghetti and Emily made sauce and Heather made homemade garlic bread. The meal was probably the most delicious thing I have ever had; it tasted soooo good after days and days of rice for lunch and dinner and Milo cereal for breakfast.

Tomorrow we have church. Am headed to bed!
