Well, this morning, we got up and went to church. Then after church, as we were walking to the van, we saw a little bakery. We all went in and bought doughnuts and stuff. Oh My Goodness!!! That was one of the best (and cheapest (;) doughnuts I had ever eaten! My doughnut was a chocolate frosted long john that was sliced open and filled with some sort of vanilla pudding like substance. And it was only 8 pesos (63 cents). I definitely love that bakery.
After we came back to base, we had a meeting type thing and practiced our songs and skits. We learned our other skit today (apparently we are only learning/teaching two skits). Thankfully, it was simple. It is called Molding Jesus, and it goes like this: "Jesus" walks in and stands with arms outstretched (cross shaped) then various people come through, each caught up in their own agenda. Each person takes Jesus and tries to make him into what they want him to be. (Jesus returns to the cross shape after each person). Finally, the last person to come recognizes Jesus' "scars" and then worships at his feet, hugs him and molds themself to what Jesus is.
The idea behind this skit is that throughout our lives, we all try to make Jesus what we want him to be; we don't try to become like Him. The right person is the one who realizes and becomes like Jesus. It is a pretty cool skit.
After we learned the skit and practiced our other one and our three songs, we had free time until supper, which was a shepherds pie (meat, veggies and some sort of sauce topped by mashed potatoes, like a chicken pot pie sort of...), salad and really good carrot cake (especially coming from me~vegetables and dessert should never mix). After supper, the girls had clean up duties which we mixed with a kitchen dance party. That was actually really fun(if you have never had a kitchen dance party, I would advise you try it sometime).
Tonight, we had another meeting type thing with the MA staff. We all gathered and prayed for one another for strength and preparedness for what is to come.
After that, a bunch of us went to OXXO (an ah-mazing little convenience store) and got some snacks. Usually we go to the close one(less than a block away and recently built: not here last summer) but it is beautiful out tonight and we felt like walking so we went to the far one(the original OXXO).
Now, I am just waiting for my laundry to be done and I wish it would hurry up so I can go to bed. Oh well, its not like I have to get up early tomorrow morning, oh wait, I have breakfast prep...Poop! Oh well. I will survive, I think...
Buenos Noches!!!!! Abi
