This morning's breakfast was arroz con leche, and I kept myself occupied since I got up at 4am until I went to bed pretty much with getting through that math book once again (well, when there weren't other more pressing things to do).
Kaylyn let me know that she was excited that only ONE toddler headed to the bathroom this morning, instead of the barrage that generally follows her (in order to get water) when one child goes in. She also got to help hang up clothing on the clothesline out back and gave Alina's NHS varsity uniform to Marta. Jaden let me know that he worked in the horse barn again, sweeping the barn as well as bringing horses in and out.
Noah went into town this morning with Moncho. He said they had to deliver eggs, and at one house Moncho told Noah to stay in the vehicle...but anybody that knows Noah, knows he sometimes doesn't follow directions. Well, Noah carried some eggs into the house, and the lady who lived there asked if Noah was my son (not sure how she guessed that, but it was heart-warming to hear).
For lunch, we were served rice with chicken, veggies and tortillas. Later on was church...what would be our last church service at Emmanuel for 2022. It was good, we listened to a member from the team preach for a bit while Felipe (one of the guys in charge of the horse barn) translated everything he said to Spanish in order for the children to listen.
Noah had been asking all day to run a volleyball game between the team and the big boys. Setting up a tennis net as a volleyball net was a challenge and we will just say it was NOT to regulation. But everyone did have fun and although curfew for team members is 6pm (which is when it starts to get dark here) and volunteers is 8pm...the game went until 10pm.
