Saturday I went with the Sunrise group to Santiago. I was glad that I got to go here for a second time because the first time i went, we just drove through. Santiago has a different atmosphere than Pana and Solola; it is really neat to see how different each town is. After we went to Santiago we spent the rest of the day in Pana. When we got back we had devotions as a groups. Afterwards we saw that the volcano in Antigua was erupting. I never thought I would see a volcano erupt in my whole life. Oh and don't worry no one that we know of was harmed.
Sunday we went to church and rested. We did go to Pollo Campero, a popular fast food place here, to eat dinner. When we came back we had a meeting with the interns, Pedro and Felis. We needed a plan of action for this week because we had so many thing happening at one time. After the meeting I did devotions with the Sunrise group.
Monday was the start of a hectic week. We had a couple from Ark City come in to see how the orphanage was doing, A group from Huston that go to Beth Moore's church come for two days, and a family that adopted 2 girls out of the orphanage before adoptions were closed. I worked at the school in the morning, doing English lessons and printing whatever the teachers needed printed. When I got done with school, I helped with Manna, the feeding program we have here. It was my first time to truly work with the kids in the program and I loved being with them. After manna I started to not feel well so I went and took a nap. When I felt better I made myself dinner then had devotions with the Sunrise group
Tuesday was not all that interesting for me because I slept the whole day. I did not feel well at all, but Mama Luki took care of me since my mom could not be here. She gave me some tabcin, the equivalent of alkacelser, and that made me feel better. I definitely needed that day of rest
Today, being the 4th of July, we took the day off and went to Antigua. Antigua is also very different than the other towns I have been to. It is more touristy and Americanized, but it has really pretty building and a beautiful history. For lunch we went to this place that means guardian angel in one of the indigenous languages common to the area. They had lunch crepes which were awesome! Afterwards we shopped and took in the sights. We got back to the Eagle's Nest kind of late so we all went our separate ways to do what we wanted before be. As you can tell I did my blog! :)
Here are some pictures from my adventures this week:
