It's a good thing we stumbled out of our room at 7 in search of breakfast. Breakfast was over but it turned out we had morning chores to do starting today. Mine involved cleaning the floors in the kitchen. When the bell rang at 7:55, I wasn't done, but the cook sent me running back to my room to shower before class started at 8 (more like 8:05 as it turned out).

Our classes went pretty well today, and my heart warmed as I watched our two guys raising their hands to offer their opinions, read out loud, or open class in prayer. I really believe that this month will be transformational for both of them, and I'm grateful to get to watch the process.

After classes and lunch, we went straight to the library. It's open in the morning (while we're in class) plus from 2:30-5 pm. The system is proving a bit problematic. Everyone has the same homework and thus needs the same books. We can't check them out or even remove them from their specific areas. Yesterday we weren't able to finish the homework by 5 and got kicked out of the library. Today I made copies of some of the pages we would need so that we could continue working after the library closed.

If we were bored in Puerto Supe, we're sure making up for it now. I'd say I'm at least as busy as I was at Davidson (College), although significantly less concerned about my grades. I've got a mountain more of work I could get started on, but for the sake of my sanity, I'm not going to worry about it right now. 7 am-6 pm is quite enough for one day.
