Another Job

This morning as I was waiting for the car to come into the hospital, Joe walked up from the main guest house and asked how I was doing before giving me another job. He wants me to spearhead the beautification of the Jubilee Center's grounds. Now it is lava rock gravel, concrete, and fairly harsh. He also says that whatever I say will happen. He puts a lot of authority on me for good or bad. I don't think I mind, it's just not something I'm really used to. I'm still learning what's going on and definitely asking way more questions than anything else. At times it feels that I only ask questions, and I'm okay with that. My best days are when I'm doing something physical or learning a lot.

Joe and Lyn also got bicycles. Lyn said something about me being able to ride Joe's bike. I might take them up on that offer and head to Mawe Hai someday on bike. It is largely believed to be about 10km away (6 miles) and wouldn't be that bad of a ride. I could take a back way part of it which would avoid most of the heavy traffic, and people are so used to people on the sides of the roads, I think I'd be all right. I'll have to try it and see. I had thought biking might be a bit dangerous, but Joe and Lyn were planning on biking to Mawe Hai on Sundays, so if they can do it, I for sure could. That would be great though because then I could go more often because I could go on my own time. Now I have to wait until the car goes into the hospital and then take the car from there and we don't go to the hospital till 9. If I were biking and wanted to actually get work done at Mawe I could leave at 6 or 7 and get a couple hours of work in before I'd normally even get there. I think biking too would take as long or shorter than driving from the hospital. I don't know if I'll get brave enough to try, but I'm thinking it might be a really good option.

The next couple days should be good, interesting days. The funders for Mawe Hai are going to be staying at the guest house (I think 4 representatives are coming from the Netherlands) and it should be good to meet them. They are involved other places as well, so I'm hoping to be able to learn from them too.
