In 15 minutes Mr. Peach will come wake us up for breakfast. Then we will leave to begin work on the churches. We are split into two teams: one team will walk to the closer church to work each day, the other team will drive into Julau to work on that church. I am with the team assigned to the closer church, so we will walk to work.

Last night there were many strange noises, chirpings and howlings. Some noises were totally foreign; I have no idea what made them. In the deepest part of the night, the dogs suddenly started howling, barking, and growling viciously. I wonder what was wrong. I’ve heard the villagers believe the dogs do that to scare off evil spirits.

This morning I asked God to help me do a good job. I want to really contribute to the effort and do well.
