So, I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled today...crazy, I know. But, it's actually really good to be in the capital again. I don't know why, but I needed it this time. Okay, I do know why. It's been a tough week. Started out, I got the pastor from the pulpit talking about how bad it is that the Believers let their daughters go play softball, then on Monday I puked all day, and got most people talking trash that I got a boyfriend (a guy that's from my canton) just because we've had conversations and he's young. Granted, he says he's in love with me, so they're validated I guess. ; and the land for the clinic is hay-wire...can't focus on that project because we just have to wait on the landowner to pay for registration...there's not even the "escitorio", and one of my best girl friends, and best players on the team quit...said she doesn't want to play. Long story. Anyway, it's been tough on the spirit. This week I was dying for some normalcy, spiritually speaking. What I mean is, I miss a passionate church, and hanging with followers of Christ that don't judge all the time and don't live by the list of rules that seriously choke the spirit all the while using a tongue that cuts sharp. It's so painful to watch others trapped in religion!!!

On a happy note, I'm now going to focus my attention on a. a micro-business for the women and b. a letrine project. Yah! Also, still running right along with the softball team. On a personal note, I'm a bit boy crazy for the first time since David and I broke up. So, it's hard to do the whole maintaining my distance from the guys. But, I'm doing it...kind of. ;} Why do we girls like attention so much?!?!? I've decided it's gotta be a trap from Satan...charm and sweet words that stroke the ego...Ughhh! I'm such a depraved and self-centered person. Good thing I got a Savior that helps me out and keeps me in check and still loves me...I think he even likes me.
Seriously, though, I've been reading Blue like Jazz (thanks to my fabulous MeeMaw who sent me an awesome package of books!), and it's hit the heart. I highly recommend it. Some of it has been like a light bulb going off saying - Ahhh, yeh, that's exactly how to describe what I was feeling when.... or yeh, I DO need Jesus and He's worth talking about. Good book.

Hey Ginger,
I am sorry this past week was so hard!! When the days get hard remember that their are many people "back home" that are praying for you. I hope your mouth is doing better! People criticize anyting that is new. You are doing a good thing teaching the girls to play softball. We are doing good, the boys are busy playing baseball this summer. We had your family over for the 4th, but it did not seem the same without you. Miss you!!
Love you,
"Aunt" Lynne
