Hey everyone :)
Last night I couldn't write the blog, sorry. I was DONE with the computer after the thousandth time of trying to get the magic jack to work to call you mom! I'm going to fiddle with it again today and figure it out though, so be ready for a call :)
Yesterday was, to say the least, action packed.
We got up early and ate pancakes with the group and then Spenc and I headed off to the school with bingo boards, beads, and other fun activities packed securely in his book bag. Arriving right at 8, we came into our 2nd grade classroom and began the bingo game. They loved it! Sweeeeet. Then we made drawing with chalk of different clothing like camisa, zapatos, etc. ON THE FLOOR. It amazed me that the teacher suggested we just draw on the floor, but hey, it was fun.
I think at this point like 4 of the teachers randomly decided they should take the students on a field trip to the park. So we went with them and played around then walked back to the team house from there. Good deal. UP and down all those hills, excellent workout especially midday in the sun. So we got back to the team house and not long after that we left with Omarcito to take the team their lunch. It was like homemade chunky soup with meat, potatoes, carrots, green beans...it was awesome, with rice and cookies. After lunch, I believe that Spenc played outside with the kids and I was put to work in the pharmacy! RAE I hope you're reading this because I thought of you a lot and how different what you do in the pharmacy probably is from what I was doing...but maybe not :). Every medicine had two names and had to be labeled accordingly. Some people had like 5 different medicines on the chart and we had to measure out how many and the dosage...whew. I had a lot of fun though. Then was helping Pastor (the team here now sponsors the Baptist church in Matagapla so pastor, his wife, and some youth from their church are working with us this week too!) but I was helping him to pass out the medications and make sure they understood what all they did with each medicine. And I was teaching Pastor some English. He was loving it. Ha. So the pharmacy was the last group to finish up filling prescriptions and then we all headed back the team house. Dinner was chicken tacos, DELISH. We all played this game called one hundred that they taught us. It was intense. Then me, Spenc, and two youth from the group played spades. Spenc and Murphy won :(. BUT TODAY is a new day, watch out y'all.
Ha, well I better go, breakfast is almost ready and I need to get everything together for today. San Jose here we come.
BUENOS DIAS,
M.
P.S. Mom I really am trying to call you. Pray for the Magic Jack to work!
