Day 13 - Lunch at Chili's & The Avengers

Today I went out for lunch with Dale, Carolyn, and Kathy and we went to Chili's, which was my first time ever going there. But everything was in Spanish, so trying to figure out what to order was a challenge because I couldn't figure out what was on the different things. I ended up doing with one of the lunch deals, which consisted of chicken quesadillas, a small starter salad, a side of fries, a drink (ice tea, of course), and a dessert, all for under $10. The salad for some odd reason was like the tiniest salad I have ever seen in my life. Literally, it was a few pieces of lettuce with some tomatoes and some sort of flat crouton topping and a bit of dressing.

Carolyn and I just laughed when we saw them come out because they were so tiny. The quesadillas, unfortunately where filled with onions, Seriously, they were basically chicken, cheese, and onion quesadillas. In case you didn't know, I'm not a fan of onions. But I sucked it up and ate them, though I did pull out a few onions here and there just so I wouldn't have to eat as many. And the dessert? It was supposed to be a brownie, but it was very thin and tiny and really lacked on the chocolatey taste. But even though the food wasn't what I expected it to be, I'm still thankful that I have food to eat. There are many people here who struggle to put food on the table every day. I'm thankful that I was able to leave there with my belly fully. Also, I'm thankful for the free refills on the ice tea! :P

After we ate, Dale and Kathy started planning stuff for the next month. It was interesting for me to watch them because some of those things I'm going to be involved in. They also started planning out the schedule for the next team we have in, which is from Lakeshore. There's only going to be 7 of them coming, as opposed to the 11 we had from Essex. We also discussed the possibility of me sharing my testimony on the Sunday that the team is here, so that'll be scary.

After that, Dale, Carolyn, and I did some running around for a bit before returning home. I relaxed for a bit before going for a walk with Elisa to the pouporia to get a couple bags of juice so Elisa could make popsicles. We actually ended up having way more juice than we needed so I got to drink the rest of the juice in one of the bags. It's the weirdest thing ever, drinking juice out of a little baggy. It was green apple flavoured. For supper, I got to try pastelitos, which are a fried pastry filled with potatoes. We also had chicken, carrots, and salad.

After supper, I got to go experience my first movie in Honduras! Dale, Jake, Ben, Elisa, Kathy, and I went and saw The Avengers: Age of Ultron in 3D. Their theatres here are so different! For starters, you actually have assigned seating! It's not just go in and sit wherever! But you actually have a row and seat on your ticket! I sat in H14. And the seats! They are soooo much nicer than the theatres back home! They're like a leathery type material and the seats actually kind of recline back a little! It kind of startled me when I sat down and leaned back into the seat and my chair leaned back with me. Overall, I really liked their theatres. And the movie was AMAZING! It was funny, action-packed, the whole package! I quite enjoyed it :)

Tomorrow is my first real day at the schools. We're telling the story of Naaman and about being meek and humble. I'm looking forward to actually being able to work with the kids :)

Until then, buenos noches, sweet dreams, and hasta mañana :)
