Day 4 i think?

Hey everybody, this is Luke!  One thing here i have found amazing is time really doesnt mean anything.  I never even know what day it is or what time it is.  It is actually quite a comforting feeling not having to worry about the time or having to be somewhere at sometime!  Well... except for breakfast time and lunch time, i like that time!!!  So today me justin and reikins went into town to get some stuff.  Me and justin talked to reikins most of the time about back home.  He said that the previous group had told him about the snow that we get there and he still coulnt believe it.  I started talking to him about ice fishing and he just could not believe that we would drive full size vehicles out onto a frozen lake!  It was really cool being with him just me and justin.  He gave us a tour of the city for about 2 hours!  It is was so amazing seeing the communities and the way that the people live in the city!  He also took a different way home, and we passed through about 3 small villages, and it seemed like absolutely everybody knows everybody in these small villages.  One of the most interesting things i saw in the city was that there is a river running through, just plump full of garbabge everywhere!  But what they did, is they had cleared an area out, and they would drive their vehicles right into the river about up to the doors and they would wash them right in the river!  Reikins also showed us the ocean and garbage lines the whole beach for miles, all the way up to the storm wall all the way down to the water about a foot thick.  It is all plastic bottles and styrofoam pieces is what it looks like.  Well thats about all i got. To mom and rachelle, you two were right about the hair. It needs to be cut, it would have been much more comfortable if it was short right now!  Love you guys.  Take care!

  2. Thanks for the updates, it's so great to know you are all doing well and having a good time. We pray that everyone remains healthy for the second half of your trip! It's fun to hear about all the different things you do! Now that I know Justin can weed gardens, I have a new job for him when he gets home :) No other news around here - just waiting for your return :)

  3. Hey - this is Kris and Evan...sounds like you are having a great time! We are enjoying your posts. Say hi to Rikerns from Evan! Hope you are all feeling well. I think our family is back to normal now - as normal as we ever are anyway! We're praying for Benson...got the prayer request this morning. Hope you can help him. I can see now how each experience there is so different for each person, but all very rewarding! God bless you guys! (Should we send any chocolate?)
