Chapter 5: Heavy Duty Library Days

We've been here a week -- not always working, but working a lot! So far over 1300 books have been catalogued, and almost all of those are labeled and back on the shelves in precise order. Besides our busy fingers, we have been joined by three helpers so far-- two short termers, Lizzie and Stephanie, and then the kindergarten teacher, Lori Brock, has given us her break time while her wee ones were in Spanish class.

We are grateful for every moment of help! The Santiago Christian Academy (SCA) staff have been super helpful in so many ways--taking us to the grocery store (thank you, Lori and Kelly), exchanging our money and fixing our toilet (thank you, Doug A.), answering all of our questions and bringing us electric adapters (thank you, Crystal), loaning us a surge protector (thank you, Doug K.), helping us get connected by phone (thank you, Kathy), fixing us supper (thank you, Jean, and thank you, Jen), and on and on. And I know I'll have more to come. Everyone is so welcoming.
