Not much time to write anymore
Yesterday: I walked back and forth to schoole for a while in confusion. Then I had breakfast (chocolate mush...mmm). I taught colors and 123 to my class. It was so difficult. They don't even know their colors in Spanish and I have to teach them in English. I really just spent a lot of time singing and dancing with them. Then they color for a while. Then I attempt more teaching. It is difficult. Then the three teachers (Amy, Monica, and I) took a motocarro to El Seis de Mayo. 2 boys were coming back to walk us there when we got into the motocarro, and I felt kind of bad, but I am kind of sick of the sexist attitude. In El Seis de Mayo, we played volleyball and soccer. We then did hut-to-hut, and we prayed for the sick.

When we were playing volleyball, Amy had to go to the bathroom, so we asked the locals where to go, and they pointed towards the river. So, we were walking towards the river when the kids told us they have a bathroom. So, they took Amy to the bathroom. She went in and went to the bathroom while the kids outside talked to her. Then she realized there was no toilet paper and said something about...creating entertainment for the kids. Then the toilet wouldn't flush so the kids gave her a bucket. She didn't realize you can just pour the water into the toilet so she took off the back of the toilet. A frog then jumped out of the toilet onto her face. The kids are all around at this point. So, Amy wiped the frog off, and poured the water in. Then she walked back with a face red with embarassment.

We walked back to Maypuco for lunch, and planned VBS. Then we had VBS in El Seis de Mayo, which was really good. They seemed to understand and have fun too. At one moment a little girl just looked into my eyes for a solid minute. I have never had eye contact from someone for that long. It was humbling.

That night we had a service in El 6 de Mayo. Colby preached on faith. There were so many people there that we had to have the service outside. The songs were about 20 minutes long each. It was a really awkward service.

I haven't had time to talk much with God. I am upset with the leaders...they are really frustrating me.
I am feeling comfortable in Maypuco. The house is cozy. The group is united.
