We did a few other things throughout the week as well. One of the guys from the bible study runs a baseball ministry for little kids. Baseball is huge here and the kids love it. They always have some kind of teaching and worship before the game. We told them the story of David and Goliath and had them act it out. They loved it! Then during the entire game we got to take pictures. We also did a program for some kids in a neighborhood near us and it was pretty similar.
This weekend was perfect. Some of us girls (the ones who aren't sick) got to go shopping. Their stores are so weird. All the clothes are bedazzled and ghetto. You have to search SO hard to find something decent. But it was so great to have some kind of normal activity to do. I didn't get to buy a whole lot cause I'm starting to run out of money, but even just getting to go was awesome. Then when we got back, we made brownies and fruit salad and popcorn and watched Dear John. And cried. A lot. It's funny how emotional I am here. I miss my family so much and that movie made it even worse. It's weird thinking about how long I'm going to be gone from home during track. Six months has been hard. How hard is a year and a half going to be? But getting to have a girls night and some sense of normalcy was so good. And you'll never believe how much of a lifesaver chocolate is here.
Please be praying for the girls on our team that are sick. They've been in and out of the emergency room this whole week trying to figure out what they have. Now they've found out that 2 of them have Giardia, a parasite. I don't think they know yet what's wrong with the other. One of the other girls had an Amoeba but she's just about back to normal. They are getting really discouraged and sick of being sick. These three girls are the same three that had Dengue Fever with me. So it's been way too long. They need healing. Please be praying especially for them and also for our entire team. We are all ready to go home, but want to finish strong.
Also, please be praying for the Central America team. They are going through a lot right now from what it sounds like. You can read their blog post about it here.
