So, the air conditioner was up really high, so our room was really cold last night! Hopefully we have fixed that problem.
We started off the day with a great pancake breakfast, followed by a trip to Cristo Redentor for the Palm Sunday Service. The kids were so happy to see us and sat with us. The service was approximately 2 hours long.
We then came back to Erika’s for another great lunch where our final two teammates had flown in from Atlanta. It didn’t take Casey and Renee nearly as long to get through customs as it took us. Then again, there was only two of them.
After we loaded up our tummies, and the vans, we went to San Buena Ventura. Now, I will say that I am glad I was DJ, otherwise I would have seen the pass on a double yellow on a curve with a BUS coming the other way….oops, I don’t think I was supposed to see that. Field Day was a big hit. The kids loved Freeze tag and that they had to crawl through each other’s legs to ‘unfreeze’ their teammate. Plus, the kids loved Casey the Clown as you will see. Bonnie opened up the bag of embroidery thread to make friendship bracelets and was like a moth to a flame. She was SURROUNDED! But I think the biggest hit of Field Day for our group was when we taught Cindy, John’s favorite, to say ‘Go Georgia Bulldogs’. Check out the video!

On the way home, the driver let us plug in our translator’s iPod and listen to whatever. As you will see from the video, our kids LOVED Soulja Boy. But it was odd….there was a stray…..donkey on the side of the road? I mean cats and dogs yes, but a donkey? Tomorrow we start our work on the director’s house, the school, and cottage 4. Look for some pictures tomorrow!

The trip looks like fun. Love the videos. Have a great time!
