Last Sunday (previous post) was wonderful. Church was good - my research assistant had missed going to church all summer. Anyway, it was great, and my RA enjoyed it. Then the pastor, his wife, and their 7 kids invited us over for lunch - a little chaotic, but so wonderful to be at home with a real family. The chaos actually made it seem far more sincere and real and homey. The kids were all big talkers (ranging from 19 to 6, I think?), so that helped too.

It didn't rain this Sunday, so I couldn't go to church. But the guys on the island brought us in at mid-afternoon, rather than at 7pm, which was very kind of them. My RA & I watched movies Saturday & Sunday nights to relax.

The mosquitoes at work have been ridiculous. We were actually wearing bee-keeping masks & long sleeves to avoid getting an unwelcome acupuncture treatment. My arms were covered in them at one point. Thursday night they sprayed the whole island. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but I guess it can't be too much worse than being covered in DEET every day. They've started to come back, but it's better than the beginning of last week, for now.

Prov. 3:5-8
Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own insight.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your paths straight.
Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your flesh
and refreshment to your bones.
