BRILLIANT!

Ufff  I locked the keys in the truck.   I think it was a drug-induced stupor.  I was hopped up on cough and cold medicine and my head was pounding and I may have been delirious...and that's all just a total exaggeration to hide the fact that I might be an IDIOT.

However, the situation led to a couple cool things.  Number one:  El Cercado is definitely the place to lock the keys in the truck, even though it's a good hour from home.    See, Dr. Victor Perdomo is the BEST and he let us drive his truck back to San Juan.    Number two:  the gente in Cercado are AWESOME and I did get to play some dominos while seated high on a hill overlooking the mountains and laughing a whole bunch with some new and old pals and slurping some sugary sweet Dominican coffee.   Number three:  I got to RETURN to Cercado the next day with another set of keys, visit pals, play some more dominos and give a ride back to San Juan to another friend.  

So the reason I was in El Cercado in the first place is because I am/was meeting with all the principals of the Sold Rock-sponsored schools.   Which was a fantastic experience......mostly because I got to see the AMAZING job that these schools are doing with possibly the cutest kids even seen by man (except my adorable nephews).     I'm working with these schools as a sponsorship coordinator, which means that I am/will be promoting our schools and looking for sponsors for the kiddies who attend there.  And I'm learning ALOT.   And I have a lot more to learn.  So it's cool...and it's new for me...and I'm a teeny bit nervous but I'm just psyched about it overall.   And hey, anyone out there who wants to help a kid get a  quality Christian education for $26 a month....I'm looking for you!  Check out the Solid Rock website at www.solidrockmissions.org to find out more.      

The last couple days have been a bit off for me since I was clearly near total bedrest with the common cold (that might be a slight exaggeration but I did WHINE sufficiently that I FELT near death- SORRY DAN AND KARI AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAD TO HEAR THE WHINING!) but today is a better day and after an awesome Sunday morning at Principe de Paz ( I still can't understand the majority of the sermons here but I did catch on to "How good and pleasant it is when we live together in unity" and that was swwweeeeeeettttt), I am prepared to watch the Phillies and Eagles rock it out tonight.   The weather couldn't be nicer- so it's a perfect day to sit in front of the computer and watch my fantasy teams.  :)

Game on.  Sunday is my day.  :)
