August 11th - Library Work

We went to circle and breakfast with the little girls again, heading home afterward for a 5-10 minute break before spending the entire morning at school taking more measurements. We finished all elementary school with the exception of the special needs classes that only run in the afternoon, so we headed to the high school classes where we measured every class except the one Andrés had been going to.

We broke for lunch and after lunch helped Jessica (a long-term volunteer) in the library. She is taking inventory and recategorizing the library, since the current system is not working. She gave me her flash drive to start making changes to the existing list, but when I got home after supper and put her disk into Bob´s laptop, there was a big error message about a Trojan virus on her disk. The only option for inventory at this point was for me to start typing the 40+ pages of inventory (title, author, number of copies, old catalog # and new catalog #) by hand.

During supper, Jen went with Jessica to hand out medicines. Jessica may be going on vacation next week, so Jen could fill in for her. She stayed afterward to play volleyball and games with the team volunteers and was at the volunteer house when David & Lydia came over to share their testimony. Since it was fresh in her mind, I had her tell it to Andrés. It was an amazing story! You´ll have to ask her about it sometime.
