Today was more of a laid back day for me. I stayed back at the house while Dale and Carolyn went to do final preparations for the team arriving. I felt bad that I wasn't able to be of use to them.
Nothing exciting really happened until we went to the team house to do the first debriefing with the Essex Team. We all went out to the back of the team house and Judy, Kathy, Dale, and Carolyn went over all of the ground rules and things to expect and watch out for while here. Dale had me come up to do a demonstration with him for having your money out in the open and I had no clue what I was doing so I kinda felt bad and awkward... Dale seems to be the kind of guy to just laugh things off though, so I'm trying not to get too worked up about it. Dale actually is a really funny guy. I think I'm going to enjoy working with him in the kids ministry.
After the debrief was done, it was supper time! Meatballs, rice, and cooked carrots and what appeared to be zucchini. I actually really like the cooked zucchini! And I tried pineapple! Normally I'm not a fan of it, but it's actually pretty good when it's real, fresh pineapple, as opposed to the imported, genetically modified stuff we have in North America.
Oh, we also discovered that there is a pool at the Team House! Sure, it's maybe only 2 feet wide, but it's a pool! I may have been persuaded by Judy to go in it ;P
After dinner, we took a little walk to the corner store within the gated community to show the team where it was and then we pretty much called it a night. The team all needed sleep as they'd been up since Friday morning.
Back at the house, Elisa and I hung out and watched How To Train Your Dragon 2. Gah, all the emotions when *SPOILER* Hiccup's dad died :( It was heartbreaking that his mom and dad had just been reunited and then he gets killed saving Hiccup's life. Gah! All the feels! After that, Elisa and I played a bit of Quiz Up and then we called it a night. We have to be ready to go by 8:40am tomorrow, as we're going to Victor's church (Victor is a Honduran who works with Schools of Hope). So now I must bid you adieu as it is time for me to rest.
Until tomorrow!
