Our Last Sunday 2017

This is the last morning in Honduras that we'll be sleeping in (if sleeping in means getting up at 5:30am instead of 3:30am).  Church began at 8am and I had asked if Michell and Luis David could sit by me, while Noah ran down to the medium boys house to get Marlon and Josue David.  I asked Noah to take a picture of us prior to the start of the service, but I think he may still need some lessons on how to use the camera as most of his pictures are not coming out very sharp/clear, and seem to be 'fuzzy'.  We had a special treat today in church with David preaching!

After church we went back to our place and I made a Mexican huevos rancheros for Noah and myself for breakfast.  We didn't have the 'caldo de pollo' cheese or tortillas, and I had forgotten that we had 'crema' as well, so I guess that's why every time I make it, that it tastes a little different!  We had a bunch of extras left over, so I hung on to them and figured I'd give each of the medium boys a spoonful at supper, to go with their rice and beans.

After breakfast, Noah and I headed to the store where we waited for lunch to be done.  While we were there, we sat next to some volunteers who had just come this past week.  One of them complimented my eyes.  Since it was Sunday, I had put a little bit of make-up on.  I don't do that the other days of the week, because it just seems to melt off of my face and it just takes too long to do in the morning.  I was very appreciative of her comment.

When lunch was over, Fabio headed my way to ask where we should work on his calculus.  I asked him where he'd be able to concentrate best, and he said up at the 'kitchen' tables at the big boys house.  Back before there was a comedor that serves everyone, there was a kitchen at each of the houses where the children ate.  The tables were made out of cement and tiled, so I imagine they will be there for a while.  He had left his notebook in the classroom (with the 10 examples of problems that are on the test) and I had given all of my notes to Profe Ramon, so we had to walk around for a bit to try to find keys to get into the classroom, since I couldn't remember what types of problems were on the test.  We worked for almost 2 hours on the problems before he had to go relieve another big boy of his chores.

When Fabio had to leave, I walked to the gym and found the small girls playing.  I decided to grab Alejandra and Nikoll and take them to the store, just to spend a little bit of time with them.  I have known these two girls for the past 3-4 years while Alina and I had been assigned to the toddler house.  They each got a soda and chips and we chatted a bit at the store before heading back to the gym.  I spent about an hour at the gym with them before heading home to heat up the left overs for the medium boys.

For supper, we decided to serve the huevos rancheros to the medium boys and the 2 chicken thighs left over to Chino and Luisito (the 2 teenagers in charge of the medium boys).  They were all very thankful, most likely because it is a big change from their typical meals.  After supper, Noah headed to the cancha with the grandecitos to play soccer and I headed up to Michell's house to watch a movie.
