Hola!
This morning, our team woke up fairly early and had a breakfast of scrambled eggs and pancakes, which was prepared by the Armonia students. After breakfast, we met for a brief devotional which was led by Saul. Subsequently, we all hopped onto the bus and headed to a Spanish church. Needless to say, none of us really understood what was going on in the service so Chris, an Armonia volunteer from the UK, translated for our team. It was the last day of the church's VBS, so we were all treated to a performance by the children of the church, followed by a sermon from one of the elders.
After church, we dropped the Armonia students off at the house and headed to a buffet. The food was delicious and the scenery was breathtaking. The restaurant was set on the side of a mountain with a clear view of the surrounding landscape. Behind the restaurant, there was a small park with various interesting features, including a playground, Catholic shrine, a garden, an old airplane that was converted into a children's movie theatre, and paddle boats.
Following lunch, we returned to the Armonia house to pick up the students and headed sightseeing. We visited the Catholic cathedral, Santo Domingo, but there was Mass in session, so we walked to the market to check out the local shops. We then visited another Catholic cathedral. Outside, there was a festival with balloons, live music, and a clown. There were many Mexicans we were able to interact with.
Finally, we drove back to the Armonia house and had a light dinner because we were still pretty full from lunch. We talked about the going-on’s of Monday and the work we would be doing. Now it’s time for bed. ¡Adios amigos!
