We slept in a little bit on Saturday (well, at least I did). I did not wake up until about 7 AM. We all made sure we were packed up and then went for our final breakfast in Antigua. We returned to Las Palmas, where we had eaten dinner the first night. I had an omelet that morning and am fairly convinced that it was the best one I have ever had, which I am sure has something to do with every ingredient being fresh that morning.
After breakfast we returned to the hotel to ensure we were packed and ready to go. We were told the bus would be there by about noon. However, since Jorge was no longer our driver we knew we were now officially on Guatemala time. At about 1:15 the bus arrived a block away and we carried our numerous suitcases and loaded up.
Our destination on the bus was not to our new “home”. Instead we headed straight for a school to hold another block party. Along with our 8 were now 19 others. 18 from Mount Harmony Church in Tennessee and one from a church in Florida. Just like the previous block party this one was full of smiling, grateful kids. I decided to not work the cotton candy machine this time ( or at least not volunteer, if needed I would have). Instead, I worked the games which consisted of 3 “toss the ball through the hole” type games. I did not think anything could be more busy and hectic than cotton candy and I am not sure if I am full convinced, but thinking back on both experiences I might have to say the games was much more demanding.
After the block party was over we made the long journey to the mission house. The mission house is a great house with an amazing view. It is however quite compact with almost 30 in it. However, no one was going to complain. The beds on the other hand, well complain might not be the right word, but it is close.
Lay down time: 11:00 … fall asleep time … 1:00 … wake up due to pain … every 20 minutes. …
Sunday … here we come!
