Today we got to sleep in. YIPPEE!!! We had eggs(again) for breakfast. Then we went to church by taxicab, really a yellow Toyota pickup truck. Pastor Gary had to leave early by himself because he was preaching twice, so he wasn’t with us. They sang five songs in Spanish, but we knew three of them so we sang along in English. Then Pastor Gary preached the first time with an "Interrupter" as he called it. It was really Mr. Marbot (the missionary) interpreting for him.

After church we ate lunch, then some of the team left to haul the building materials to the building site we were working at tomorrow. The rest of us (Dad, Mrs. Stommel, Miss Sylvia,Miss Jo and I) stayed at the church with Mr. Marcotte, the missionary "doctor"(really an optometrist), to sort pills and vitamins.

We got done sorting and went back to the hotel, where we took showers and waited for the missionaries.( They were taking us out to dinner.) We got to the restaurant, which was a chicken place, and I mean, CHICKEN! We ordered soup and chicken. When the food came, the chicken was good, but the soup was kinda like a really rich chicken broth with a little rice and a surprise in it. Well, we were all hungry, so we dug into the soup. About the same time, we all discovered what made the broth so rich, CHICKEN LEGS INCLUDING THE FEET!! Half of us weren’t hungry for soup anymore(including Rae Ann and Angela), but that didn’t include me. After a while, Pastor Gary also found a chicken eyeball in his soup! I was thinking, "YES! we’re actually getting some exotic food!" I think I was one of the only rednecks that finished their soup. I didn’t eat the chicken legs.

After dinner, we went to the hostel and had devotions. Then we all went to bed.
