Today was day 2 of our trip and we got to sleep in (sort of) for probably the last time for the next week. Anyways, we did the tour of the work sites and met all the wonderful families we´re building for. I even got one of the missionary kids and dennis to eat some super hot peppers >:D That`s beside the point.
After that we got home to change and get ready for church and I decided to take a shower... Was that ever a bad idea. I`m assuming a lot of other people did the same thing as the water pressure was just gravity. I realised how much I take real showers at home for granted and how most people here don`t even have this. Even if at one point the water totally stopped at the most inopportune moment. It was just a really important epiphany of my day.
The second best was hearing everyone at church pray for this dying little baby boy. His heart is growing too fast for him and he`s going to die because he`s still too small for surgery. The pastor/leader asked everyone to pray for him (we only knew this thanks to Carlita) and everyone just sort of talked loudly in spanish and tried to comfort the mother and just pray with everything they had. It was so cool to watch especially because we didn`t even have to know what they were saying, it was all in the tone and the passion. Anyways that was another really cool part of my day! I`ll be back tomorrow.
Love,
Amanda
