Forgotten Adventure

Another early time with God (this feels great), then it was off to the shower. Edgar picked me up around 9am, and then I got some email answered in the office before going to help Margarita in the kitchen. Whew, this is fun work, but it’s really hard not to nibble on everything while we’re cooking. Mmm… It’s always fun to laugh with Margarita (head chef), Muriel (the tortilla maker), and even the more reserved cleaning lady/dish-washer (whose name escapes me at the moment). On Thursday, I get to learn to make MOLE! WOOHOO! I got to eat some great lunch as payment for my work, then answered more email before heading back to the kitchen to help cook dessert (postre). Afterwards, I did some more blogging, then worked on some lessons. I won’t bore you with more details, but I had a little adventure at night, when Edgar forgot that he couldn’t pick me up today (and forgot to tell me that). Luckily, Estuardo’s Bible Study was rescheduled, so he came back to the church and helped me find a ride with one of the song-leaders who were meeting at church that night to practice. We grabbed some Chinese fried rice from the place across the street, then chowed down and had a great conversation while we waited for our rides to be ready. I really love how spiritually minded the brothers and sisters are out here. They constantly think of the unseen, and refer to the scriptures often with such a confident belief that I see how little I have truly put my trust in God’s promises. We made it home safely, and I have one more great adventure to add to my experiences here. ¡Hasta luego!
