First day of outreach!!!!!!!!!

Well, this morning, I got up in time for breakfast(pancakes, fresh fruit, cereal, coffee cake type stuff). Then MA staff went to the worship hall for a meeting, where we got our assignments. I am the co-host for the Weiser team from Idaho. Alex is the host and Ivan is the translator.

After some hassle getting music for the dramas and songs, I helped load the vans and we were off. This morning we went to a church. (It was kinda cool because one of the team's leaders had helped to build the house next to the church two years ago.) Basically, we invited the kids over and colored and hung out for a bit and then the team did their songs and dramas for them.

It was so cute! After we were done, they wanted to do some songs/dances for us, so they did that.

By then, it was lunch time so we got our sandwiches and shared them with the kids. Thankfully, they sent two extra loaves of bread and some peanut butter and jelly with us, so we supplemented our meat sandwiches with that. And let me just say that kids really love oreos; of course, I do too but that is irrelevant. We ate and then left and came back to base.

After that, we went to La Boufadora. La Boufadora is basically a long strip of shops with a natural blowhole at the end. The people that work at the shops are pretty crazy. I bought a pair of really cute sandals. They are real leather. (; I also bought my sister her birthday present finally. I think she is gonna love it.

After La Boufadora, we had taco night out so we took the team to the corner of goodness. That isn't it's real name but that is what the people from the base call it and believe me it really is ah-mazing!!! I had a shrimp taco and a fish taco and a strawberry fanta. Then I bought a mango ice cream cone. It was really delicious.

That was basically it. Now I am going to write todays post. Abi
