Sunday = Free Day

Sundays are our free days here at Emmanuel, the days we can have off to relax just as God intended.  Noah took this literally and decided to sleep in, past the normal wake-up time of 5:15am.  He said that he was okay with skipping breakfast if he could just sleep in...so I headed to breakfast with just Alina.  When we got back, we got ready for church.

Noah decided to bring 3 medium boys to church: Salomon, Maycol, and William.  I brought Alejandra (from the small girls house) and then Michell came in and sat by Alina when she got done cleaning the kitchen.  After church, we headed to the 'tienda' with the kids.  Noah bought his boys quite a few items from the store, like chips and soda and popcorn and ice cream.  I think he may have spent most of his money now. 

We waited at the store for the houses to come down for lunch in the Comedor.  Word got out that they were having fried chicken!...which doesn't happen very often - only when teams decide to sponsor a special meal for them.  The chicken was SO good, and was served with mashed potatoes and cole slaw.



After lunch I went over to the big boys house to help Luis David and Luisito with their math review.  The test is coming this next week and it will not be easy.  It is their last math test before graduation in December.

Noah met me at the big boys house as I was tutoring and his head was covered in eggs.  Apparently the medium boys went out to the farm and decided that they would have an egg fight of sorts.  He had to run back to our room to shower up and change clothes before supper.

When supper was done, Noah went to play some more with the medium boys in the yard out front of our room.  I went down to watch for a bit, but then decided to read for a little while before turning in for the night.  Our work starts again tomorrow!
