After breakfast, I spent some time with little Alejandra at the elementary school before heading over to the high school to have Misel braid my hair. When school began, I headed back to our room to rest my throat and also so as not to spread any illness I might have.
We were invited to go to lunch with David and Lydia today. They took us and the Miller family into town to Katy's restaurant, which is owned by a Mennonite couple that settled in Guaimaca around 50 years ago. Noah got to ride in the back of David's truck, something that is definitely not allowed in the States anymore. As we were leaving the orphanage, Elvia was walking 2 girls (sisters) up to the medium girls house who were just dropped off at the orphanage. David stopped his truck to say "hello" to the girls. The younger of the two was crying, whereas Elvia said the older one mentioned that this is a really big orphanage. Noah really enjoyed the food at the restaurant and it was probably the first time in this past month that he finished his meal before almost anyone else! He even said he was still hungry after he was done.
When we got back, I rested a little bit more until the school day was done. Then I headed to spend time with the big girls and Noah headed to the medium boys house to spend time. We met up again at the Comedor for supper. Unfortunately after supper, we just went back to our room because we were told that the medium boys would have to shower and head to bed immediately after supper due to being naughty this afternoon. So, since we had a couple of hours of daylight left, Noah and I played some games together before heading to bed ourselves.
