Day 4 was filled with lots of work. From putting a roof on an outhouse to excavating a hillside for the installation of classrooms. It was a nice day. But that night we split up into pairs to stay with families in the community. Truely a wonderful experience and I will write more about it once back in the states.
Day 5: Waking up in a foreign speaking household is interesting. Once again I'll detail that later on.
But this afternoon we made our way up to a hermitage that overlooks an active volcano at 11000 feet msl. What a spiritual experience. Also more to come.
Day 6: My birthday. This was possibly my best birthday on the books just yet. I let no one know ahead of time that today I am 23. Last night a few of us decided to sleep outside under the stars. I found myself gazing for over two hours. We also had the intention of seeing the sun rise. We did. Truly amazing. Going through a day without anyone wanting to make my day special just because it's my birthday made everything that more special. We had an amazing reflection tonight with the group. Michigan state is also here. I'm making many friends there too and I cannot believe tomorrow is my last day here. Suzanne saw on Facebook that today was in fact my birthday and everyone surprised me tonight after we got back from playing soccer. She found out at 6 pm tonight and the team here was able to get cake for me. What a night. I got both versions of happy birthday and then we had cake and sang songs until we were forced into bed as we have an early wake-up call in the a.m.
I thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, and well wishes as we travel. Also special thanks to my family and friends for all their special birthday wishes. Sweet dreams ya'll.

With havin so much content and articles do you
ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My website has a lot of unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help prevent content from being stolen? I'd
definitely appreciate it.

I.E., it has some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!
Apart from that, fantastic site!
