Day 17 - A Cold in Honduras?? & Prepping for Store

Only I could manage to get a cold while in Honduras. And really, I only have myself to blame. It's probably from staying up too late at night and therefore not getting enough sleep. But I can't help it. It's the struggles of a night owl. I mean, sleep is totally overrated anyways ;P So yeah, been dealing with that today. Otherwise, it's been pretty chill and uneventful. Dale and Carolyn are going out overnight tonight to celebrate their 20th anniversary that they had this week, so that means I'll be here with the kids. Elisa and I watched a movie on TV (I have no clue what it was called, but it was something on the Disney channel) and then we took a trip to La Loma to get some snacks to watch a movie tonight (planned on watching Frozen, but we didn't end up watching it). It was so beautiful out today <3 The sun was shining, there was a comfortable breeze, and everything was just perfect! I just couldn't stop exclaiming how beautiful it was outside today. It was like 28 degrees, if not warmer (I'm going by what my iPhone app tells me, but I don't think it's always right).

I will never get tired of this view <3

Once we got back though, I started to have a bit of a headache, so I went and laid down for a bit until supper. It was nice to just relax in a dark room with the fan on. I talked to both of my bros for a bit, catching them up on my life here so far. It was nice to hear from both of them :)

After supper, Elisa and I chilled for a bit on the couch, watching Jake play Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. I love watching him play it, but at the same time, it makes me sorely miss playing that game and slightly regretful that I sold all of mine. I may have to look into buying a used copy of one of them when I get back :P

After we had rested for a bit, Elisa and I got to work sorting through a bunch of toys that were donated for the store for the schools where the kids can use the Bible Bucks they've earned to buy things. We had to sort them into 5 piles, for the 5 schools we were going to (technically we only have 4 schools, but one has a morning and afternoon session, therefore, we need two piles for the one school). We wanted to make sure that each school got roughly the same number of things so that all of the kids at each of the schools would have an equal chance of getting each of the cool things. We had rubber duckies, stuffies, stamps, stickers, gliders, bouncy balls, and so much more! It took Elisa and I forever to sort everything.

I think it was close to nine by the time we finally finished everything and cleaned up the mess we'd made in the process. I was too tired to watch Frozen, but yet somehow we ended up going and plopping down on the couch and watching Matilda, which was on TV. What a flash from the past! I haven't seen that movie in years! But I really enjoyed it :)

That's pretty much everything for today. Like I said, pretty chill and uneventful. Tomorrow I finally get to go to their church service, which doesn't start until 4pm. Apparently the whole congregation is going out for pizza after the service too, which sounds like a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to that :)
Until tomorrow, sleep well, don't get sick, and don't drink the water! Hasta mañana! :P
