Tuesday 2/6

Was supposed to call home tonight, but forgot. It's too late now. Must remember to call in the morning. I have letters from Mom and Kaitlin at next mail time. Fun. [For those of you who don't know, when you get mail on mission trips, you have to sing, dance, or do something else really embarassing in order to get your mail. That "Fun" was sarcastic.]

Yesterday Andrew gave Road Report assignments. [Road Reports are kind of like journal entries about the different places we visited and things we did on the mission trip. They are published on the AIM website and on newsletters about the mission trip.] I have an easy one - Bible studies. I also have another job - to keep lists of all the songs that we teach and present at each location. Wow! [This was a huge job, especially since I got it halfway through the mission trip and had to remember lineups for all the presentations we had already done. Some people had saved lineups from some of the presentations, but there were several that I had to do from memory, including our 2 1/2 hour presentation with CIA. I turned it in, but needless to say, I'm not at all confident in the accuracy of that particular lineup!]

Wed 2/7 [I'm putting this one on the same entry because it's so short]

Arriving in Sacramento. Wrote Road Report yesterday, then found out that I wasn't supposed to write it until I got some guidelines from Andrew today. [When I asked Andrew what I should do, he said to just turn it in as I had written it... he said he figured it would be OK the way it was. :) Evidently it was, because he only had a few notes on it.]
