Friday!

Today was really nice and kind of relaxing for the most part. We woke up normal time, had breakfast and got ready for the day. Anaya arrived this morning. She will be staying with us from now on until we leave on the 22nd, She is so sweet. Lena (the director of the graduate students) came today with one of the students. Her name was Ira, she is 18. We took her to the store and bought some groceries. Came back and Lydia and Kristin cooked us a wonderful lunch, it was a version of chicken chili and rice. Very Yummy! We played games, like this dice game called Farkle! Which I was terrible at! And we just sat around and talked, we heard Ira's story about her time in the orphanage, and what she is doing now...we shared a little bit about ourselves as well. Lena translated everything. After lunch, Lena and Ira had to go, the rest of us took a very much needed nap! lol Tomorrow is going to be pretty much of the same thing, Lena will bring some more of the graduates over here, one boy and three girls. We are very excited.
Tonight about 8pm Anaya took us out for a walk into the city, to get us out of the apartment and just to do some site seeing. It was really cool. So interesting that, that late the city is still hopping!! So weird! lol We got back at about 11pm, had our devotions, showers and now everyone is heading to bed. Hope everyone is going well. Oh and hey, my foot is getting better, for those who know what I am talking about...I have been taking my antibiotic. But now..for some reason, I have a bad tooth ache!! lol Go figure! If it's not one thing, it's another..Lena bought me their version of Ore-gel today! Very cool...lol The things that amuse me! :)
