Our Last Big Circle of 2017

This morning Noah was able to sleep in a bit because it is Friday...Big Circle...our last one for this year.  One of the houses that recited their bible verses this morning was Luis David's house...so that was a special treat.  I also noticed this morning that since we've been here, the medium boys have not recited verses, so I guess we'll be missing that this year.  After Big Circle, we headed with the medium boys to breakfast and then to their house until school started.  After walking them to school, we went to the hotel to do our morning cleaning before heading to the yards.

Since Noah didn't really get up on time for Big Circle today, he was with me this morning in the yards rather than working with Moncho.  We took the Bingo game that we had bought at the Dollar Tree and Noah played that with the boys who were there.  Each boy who got Bingo won a Mexican sucker (chili-covered mango flavored sucker).  There were 10 Bingo cards, so 10 boys could play at any time.  Noah was able to practice his numbers in Spanish as he called the numbers out from 1-50.

When we ran out of suckers, then the Bingo game was over.  We asked to take one of the new boys, Marlon, to the store.  Noah was going to play Snakes/Chutes and Ladders with him - another game we had bought from the Dollar Tree.  Marlon recently arrived to Emmanuel, just before we did (I think I mentioned him in an earlier post).  He said he was found begging off of the streets along with 2 cousins, so they were picked up and brought here.  We also got him a soda and some chips.  He brought the leftovers to his cousins in the yard after the boys played for a while at the store.  Noah will be leaving the game with Marlon when we leave.

We headed to lunch, and then Noah went to work with Moncho again while I spent the afternoon with Michell.  I bought her the new Beauty and the Beast movie, so since they had to be in their house all afternoon, we watched that together.  When they had to leave the house for ensenanza (Bible study), I headed for the medium boys house, waited with them there and then headed to supper.  After supper, Michell came over again and we just sat on the front porch and chatted.  We also called home for a bit to see how things were going, before turning in for the night.  It was a really nice day today, and now it's been 2 days with no rain!
