So, here we are on Day 2 of our outreach with Students International. So far we have had a lot of fun and tomorrow the real work begins. At 7:00am tomorrow we meet for a time of praise, worship and prayer before being sent off to our worksites. Our team will be spread out over 6 sites for the next couple of weeks.
Although it's been a lot of fun, I also have personally found it a little frustrating trying to communicate with our host home. They have been very generous with us, but it's hard to have any real conversation even though we are trying. Will and I are in a home with 3 young boys - los patojos - and thankfully Uno transcends language! Unfortunately Alejandro (the 5 year old) cleaned our clocks!
So for those of you wondering, we are based in a small town called Magdalena. Some of our work teams are right here, others are about about a 20 minute walk from us in El Gorreon. I was given a schedule yesterday and we are going to be busy, but it should be a lot of fun!
Hopes are that every night we can come down here and someone will update the blog - not me. Please check back!
Awesome Tim! wishing you all the best in your adventure. Our thoughts and Prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that everyone is safe. Sorry for the clocks. Limonada de Yagua - that sounds like a very refreshing drink. Que Dios los bendiga a todos !!!
