Yesterday, me and Caleb went to Graceway school and helped demolish the mud and stick classrooms. I enjoyed that (however, I have big old blisters, because I only had a rough, rigid pipe to use as a tool to start with). After I got back, I had a relaxed day and played coquet with Aly, Todd, and Ian.

Thismorning…was…beautiful in a completely literal way. I left the compound early to see the sunrise. It looked like a huge, blazing fire had been plated with white gold. Te clouds formed waves that rippled towards the blaze, and other clouds crisscrossed the waves in boldly defined whisps. The fire grew in size and brightness until the waves were engulfed. Finally the fire gave birth to the source of its serene fury. The morning star was exposed not as the orangish red newborn that was expected, nor as a quickly growing child. It appeared as the vibrant youth, on the edge of its noonday prime.
