Yesterday I went and did the Hospital Escuela, Mi Esperanza, and School for the Blind package with Mark Halbert's group from Tupelo, MS. It was their last day, and there were no more houses to be built. It was cool to see the kids at the hospital and at the blind school, so I guess it was an okay day. Went to Carnita's last night with one of the interns, and just had a real chill evening.
But today: well, today was cool.
Today we had a free day. Marc took Mark Halbert's group to the San Pedro Sula airport, so there was no one here to work with except if we wanted to go and help Mark Connel with a playground at the Good Shepherd orphanage. Translation: we all slept in. Me and Luis got up at about 8:00 and walked a couple of blocks to a street vendor that sells awesome breakfast subs. Then I went back to bed. We woke up later and made fun of Karis because she lost her voice, and then... I went back to bed.
It ain't easy being an intern...
I woke up around 12:50 and all of the others were gone. That was actually okay though. I just chilled, took a shower, and then packed my laptop and Bible into my backpack and started walking around. I found an awesome chicken seller near Hospital Escuela, and the chicken there was AWESOME (I will be returning every chance I get). I ate it at a Espresso Americano, and then ordered a Moccachino Supreme (if Wesley Thompson just read that, he may have just died) and spent the rest of the afternoon working on lessons for this coming fall. It was so spiritually uplifting to think that long about Scripture, and so I not only got a lot accomplished, but I think I grew a lot. I walked to La Colonia Mega (I got my exercise in today) and bought a few groceries for myself, and then I walked back. Marc came and picked us all up and took us to Pizza Hut, always good. Then Keith drove us back to the apartments and me, Nolan, and Kale hung out of the windows yelling at everyone. It was fun.
I had a great free day. Processed a lot of stuff that's happened, caught up and sleep, and have a sense of peace and happiness in Christ that I hope will spill over into the weekend.
