Work Day Feb 16th,

Many of the group were going to the lagoon yesterday with the niños. I stayed behind to get some work done. We were prepping the classrooms and the bodega to be painted. We split the Lagoon field trip into two days. Half the kids and staff yesterday and half today. I was scheduled to go today. Berta was scheduled to go yesterday. We were both a little bummed out. I decided to stay back this morning instead of going to the lagoon. I would rather one extra day with her.
We had two little boys "help out" with painting yesterday. This consisted of putting talcum powder on their face and throwing spnges at the wall. I will be honest the was just rediculous enough and made me laugh so hard that it was acctually help in the sense that they reminded me why we were there.
Matthew got a little paint chip in his eye and this laid him out the entire day. The day was a lot of work but at night we got a chance to play. We all went to El Centro and then to a yummy little taco place. We were all together and laughed and ate together celebrating Fat Tuesday.
We got back Matthew and Pete lead worship and even though Matthew was laid out all day and he and Pete didn't have time to review what they were going to do, it turned out to be very beautiful and ponient. It was a great way to wrap the night up.
