After heading to breakfast with the medium boys, we went back to their house. They had to be inside all morning, first due to a staff meeting and then they had to clean. When the children clean their houses, they pull ALL of the furniture (couches, chairs, tables, etc) outside and sweep and mop all of the floors. They clean the bathrooms from top to bottom. They washed the windows, beat out the rug, and cleaned the wood on the furniture. This is a cleaning process that they use EVERY Saturday. Although, they do sweep and mop their house every morning (due to how fast ants will gather for even the tiniest morsel)...Saturdays are reserved for pulling everything out of the house and giving the house a complete cleaning.
We headed with the boys to lunch and then I headed back to our room with Noah. We did a little bit of cleaning...Noah cleaned the bathroom, etc. Then Noah slept while I chatted online with Alina about her first week back in the States and making the JV Volleyball team for Neenah High School.
I rested until supper and then we headed to the Comedor. When we got back to the room after supper, my plan was to go a spend a couple of hours with Michell, but I ended up talking with Tammy's husband Chris. They are staying in one of the rooms next to us and are here to help with the horse program at Emmanuel and also another program in town (Guaimaca). They also were working on a discipling retreat that was going to take place on Sunday. Since we had chatted for so long, I headed to our room to sleep afterward rather than heading to Michell's house.
