i spent 6 hours this morning driving around in a truck to 5 different campos (of which there are about 72) to meet the folks and see the chapels...it's not bad to go to one, but all that driving stinks. however, i have lots of data in the gps and tracks throughout the surrounding area. i will have a complete map within the next few months i suspect. later on i will crunch the numbers and post some good data.
i have upgraded the phone plan so i can call, and i am working on getting the fixed phone so you people can call me. we'll see what happens, but i think i can have it down here and installed by the end of may.
our internet connection at the parish, which we take from a wi-fi across town, is down for the next week. it runs at about 80kbs, which is plenty fast, but alas it will be down, so i can't post any pictures until it gets restored. i will have some great ones for you.
the church here in banica is beautiful - built in 1514 and still going strong.
i have Mass in pedro santana tonight with a couple of baptisms, so i'll let you know how it goes...so far so good, although i will admit that as i was trying to get my room together this afternoon i found my pictures and had to put them down. alas, the first couple weeks after any change are tough that way, i suspect i will have my regular disregard of sappiness within a week or so (maybe those pink sheets are affecting me...)
so long, keep up the prayers.
