Breakfast was yummy this morning - sweet bread that we had bought the night before. Seriously, that stuff is so good! Then we packed lunches and headed out, this time with Hugo and his younger sister Katy, as well as Marvin (Jr.), who goes to Luz y Vida (Julio and Jodi's church) who is a professional painter (he also plays drums really well; he played at church on Sunday).
Because yes, we painted.
We went to the public school in Yalú (had a good time traveling over those rutted dirt roads through town) and while most of the guys and Kristen worked on a chicken house for a man, the rest of us painted walls at the school. The top of the wall we painted light blue, and the bottom dark blue. The light blue paint was no problem, because it was water-based. But the dark blue...ughh, yeah that was oil-based. So that made things interesting for some people who even got it on their legs. (Thankfully I managed to be careful enough to not get too much of that paint on me, just the water-based.) We ate lunch there and tried to finish stuff up before we left at about 3 pm. We then returned for nice hot showers and had a little down time.
Eventually the pizza came (26 boxes of it!) and so did the Rodriguezes (minus Deborah) and we had a nice meal together. It had been a dreary, drizzly and chilly day, so warm pizza was nice! After everyone else left we had worship time and it was an amazing time of worship. It was incredible. At one point Ryan paused the music and asked, "Is now a good time, can we pause?" It was quiet for a second and then Sarah was like, "I don't think so, Ryan," and we all kinda sniffle-chuckled but agreed, so he put on the music and we went right back to it (it was a good thing we had just bought tissues the day before). When we finally ended, Ryan told us to take a deep breath and then we had our debriefing time. We had some good hilarious moments during it, too, and then bed time.
