Today, Robin, Jackie and Kurt did various painting projects around the property. They painted the front gate and some of the playground equipment and repaired some of the playground equipment. We're at the point right now where there are lots of minor repairs to make...(we don't have enough time to start any big projects.) We're also in the planning stages for next summer... putting our heads together for all the projects we'll be doing with the youth and what materials we'll need. Then Kurt and I will head down to Home Depot on Monday to get an estimate of cost (and also get an email from the construction desk so we can make sure they'll have all our materials we'll need...that was one of our frustrations that they didn't have the right sizes of things we needed this week...or enough of what we needed. But if we can order them 4 weeks ahead of time before we arrive things "should" run smoother next year. (hence why we did a "pilot" 
mission trip with adults this year - to work out the bugs"....(no pun intended for all the interesting bugs we've seen since arriving...)
AJ
and I were going to take today off....after 
spending the morning at the beach, AJ decided he had enough beach time and wanted to go back to work...he is really enjoying spending time at Hogar de Niños and working (even though he complains sometimes late at night after the long hours of work.) Next summer we'll have our time scheduled better to include scheduled breaks. This time I think we were all focused on trying to get as many projects completed as possible so that we can return next summer with our youth.

Mazatlan called, Panama, so we can continue our group discussion planning for next summer. Afterwards we'll get a little more work done before worship service at 3pm. We'll be saying "Adios" to Eric and Robin on Monday....it'll be very sad for the kids (and us) to see them go.
