July 28
Another week gone by and this one marks week number 5!
Gracie reminded us this morning that we only have two weeks left. I actually
still have 3, but I might end up leaving the same time Evelin and Jen do.
Evelin went food shopping with Miriam this morning while Jen
and I took over the kitchen. It’s funny ‘cuz both of us are kind of OCD, so we’re
pretty particular about how we like things done. But you can imagine how that
worked to our advantage. We got things done and we hardly made a mess. Fried chicken,
rice, beans, cucumber salad and a green bean casserole! We were quite proud of
ourselves. Haha! I’m glad the girls were in class while we were cooking,
otherwise things would have gotten a little messy.
After Evelin got back, she had class with the girls while
Jen and I did our own thing and helped watch over the babies. We get to spend
the weekend in Teguc again. Evelin’s parents came to pick us up. Our friend
from ACU, Victoria Tyson was with them. They had just picked her up from the
airport this morning. She’s been doing her internship with Mission Lazarus in
Choluteca. From her stories, it sounds like she had a pretty awesome
experience. It was nice seeing a familiar face.
When we got to Evelin’s house we just took it easy and got
settled in. Dinner was really good! We had the typical eggs, corn tortillas,
cheese, beans, platanos, avocado, but this time there was chicharon! It was a
lot like Filipino crispy pata though, but it was soooo good! We also had a
really good cake for dessert. Yesterday was Evelin’s parents’ anniversary, so
they had the cake to celebrate. I was comfortably full and we really enjoyed
talking to her parents.
