OKAY!!! So, the weekend was great. Friday night we saw our first bollywood movie. It was terribly funny and completely in Hindi which I think added to the humor. Also, there are random music and dance numbers about every ten minutes...YES... We took some of the kids from the childrens home to the park on Saturday and played allllllll day. We also did our laundry...which was interesting considering we did it in buckets in the bathroom. Church was amazing...healings like I've never seen. We are getting more familiar with the people in the congregation. Last night we went to a wedding...let me tell you I will go to one every night if I can! So much fun! We ate and danced. Man, these people love, I mean LOVE, to dance. When they busted out the reggaeton and 50 cent we HAD to join. HAHA. It was..intense! And so fun. If we had to try to speak to any of the people we were dancing with we wouldn't have been able to understand each other...but that isn't necessary when everyone is moving to the same beat and laughing and clapping and jumping. It was good because Daniel told us that some of the kids we were dancing with used to go to church but they had stopped coming a little while ago.. so he thinks that since we made a connection with them, they'll want to come back. We met a lot of people, and we were invited to go to another wedding tomorrow night..i guess the two white girls were a hit haha. We took pictures with the bride and groom and I bet they were so confused because they didn't even know us! And of course, we did stand out just a little, so the photographer and camera man got a ton of footage of us.. the newlyweds are going to be looking back through their album wondering who the heck these two chicks were..priceless.
Here's some pictures of the school we taught at today.. we are pretty familiar with the kids there now and we adore them. There are two rooms in the school.. one is smaller and the lights don't work, but usually the teacher takes the little kids in that room and lets them play while we work in the first room, which has light, with the older kids so they can write. But, since there are so many little kids in comparison to older ones, we let them have the bigger room today are we took the dark one. I didn't realize just how dark it was til we were sitting in the pitch black with 8 kids waiting for us to teach them. We had a little candle..which was useless. Eventually it burned so low that it caught the shelf on fire. Luckily Tori saved our lives by blowing it out. Later a little mouse came to hang out. It liked running around the room. I think I'll name it Gus Gus. Its a really good thing that Tori and I are animal lovers... :)
