We've been continuing in our jobs for the past two days. My room gets up at 6:00 A.M. every morning in order to be to breakfast on time at 6:30. After that, we have Buenos Dias. We sing with the girls and read the Bible in a language none of us can understand. There is still a beautiful feeling of unity, however.
After lunch we visited caves. The first was a short and beautiful hike along a river. The weather was warm and the cave was beautiful. The second was a much longer but equally lovely trek. Although the mud was ankle deep, it was lots of fun.
We've been spending more time with the girls lately, specifically the three girls that are helping with the WALC program (me, Lindsey, and Michaela). Although we can't speak fluent Spanish, we've been bonding in unique ways with things such as hair and basic interests. The girls are beyond sweet and loving, constantly asking questions that we sometimes do not understand, but still do our best to answer.
I had the privilege of teaching two of the girls some English yesterday. They wanted to know how to say "Que Pasa" in English. Now, they come up to me every now and then excitedly saying "What's up?".
Yesterday we began making chocolate with the girls. Today we will be finishing the job and also making soap. This is our last full day at the farm, for tomorrow we leave for the village. We will be out of contact for three days.
