This morning's breakfast consisted of the Honduran version of Frosted Flakes (although Noah chose the last of the Cocoa Puffs). I had decided that on Sunday mornings we would not be going down to the Comedor, but would eat breakfast together as a family.
We got ready and headed down to the church and Papi preached. I always enjoy listening to him preach because he "tells it like it is". As the years have went on, I have noticed that so many people are afraid to approach various, what we consider to be "touchy" subjects. David chooses topics that are so applicable to what is going on in the world today and uses many passages from the Bible to affirm or negate these topics. Many times I hold on to what he says for days, and mark these verses in my Bible so that I can go back to them.
When we got back from church, we did our weekly deep-cleaning of the house. Jaden cleaned the toilets, Kaylyn cleaned the showers, Noah cleaned the bathroom counter, sinks and mirrors, and I cleaned the kitchen counters and sink. Then I swept the entire house, and Noah followed behind with the sudsy mop, Kaylyn with the rinse mop, and Jaden had a mop to catch what Kaylyn might have missed and also to make the floors a little more dry. This still took just just over an hour, like last week.
When the cleaning was done, it was already time for lunch, so we headed down to the Comedor. While there, we asked permission from the encargados (those in charge) to take some children to the store. We ended up taking Alejandra, Genesis, Nikoll, Jeremias, Gibran, Cristofer, and Alex (who Noah claims looks like the Honduran version of his cousin Weston, Sarah's son). Each child got a bag of chips of their choice as well as a soda. We had a great time together!
