I think Chris would agree, the heat definitely hindered the night’s sleep. It’s hard for me to imagine that I will eventually get used to it. But, I’m sure I will.
We saw the girls today at breakfast and it was exactly what I imagined: non-stop. It was tough when I had 5 other guys with me. Now, it’s just about impossible to keep up with the whole group. As crazy as it is, I can’t think of anywhere else I’d rather be.
Today started off with breakfast and then a pool party with all the girls. They were split into two groups at two different times, but it still got me very worn out – and sunburned. The meeting with the architect went very well and she will be sending the plans for the azebo soon. I really missed being here and I really missed the girls. Having a day for fun before all the work starts was really nice.
After lunch we went to a Festival Musica that was held in the city theatre. The play depicted all the parables in the Bible, but with a comedic twist. Although I could understand very little of what was being said, it was very entertaining. The actors ranged from elementary school children to older high school and possibly early college age kids. The acting and singing was phenomenal. I was absolutely impressed at the skill and energy the kids had throughout the entire 3 hour show. The night ended with dropping all the girls off and going out for what Peggy called “our last meal.” She’s referring to the fact that we will be eating here at the orphanage for every meal from now on and will not have many chances to eat out like tonight. In observance, I ate quite a bit more than a normal person should eat.
The Spanish is definitely coming along well. I spent a lot of time talking with the older girls and they are teaching me a lot. I think it just hit me tonight that I will be here for 2 months. I’m excited about it and curious at the same time. We’ll see…
