After church, Rachel (a visitor from Georgia) worked with me through a bunch of calculus problems that I would be teaching this coming week. We found a few errors in some problems, but it helped to have a 2nd mathematical eye/brain on working through these problems since it has been 20+ YEARS since I've taken calculus, and I've never taught it.
I treated Alina and Noah to ice cream before we headed to the medium boys house. Alina chose a mini green plastic soccer ball that was filled with vanilla ice cream! They both enjoyed their delicious treat while walking over to the boys house. The boys had invited Noah to come and do the Slip n Slide with them, and activity that the Ohio team had planned for them. Noah chose not to wear his swim suit, so he fit in better with the boys. I should say that one of the Ohio team members, when he arrived, said 'hola' to Noah while Noah was in the yard with the medium boys. There are a couple of Honduran boys down here who are as light as Noah, but it still made us giggle.

In the evening, I was invited to church in Guaimaca by a pastor of that church. He also invited the Ohio pastor to do the sermon for the evening, along with Wade to translate into Spanish. It was a very good sermon and many church members came up to the altar afterwards to have prayer for the pains (emotional, physical, financial, spiritual) that they were suffering. I saw a girl there who used to be one of the Orphanage Emmanuel children, so it was GREAT to see that she is still going to church and trying to find what God wants for her in her life!
