4/5/14: Day 34: Irrefutable Laws

We woke up at 5:30 AM so Della, Lucky, and I could go to the center of town at 6:00 to survey the number of people that setup as venders. Our plan was to determine the feasibility of serving coffee and bread as an outreach. We took the dog along with us and the weather was super nice. Hector drove through about 6:15 to survey from his van then he left. We stayed out until 7:00 then we went home and took a nap. At 9:00 Della and I went to the market and got a giant piñata donkey for the lesson tomorrow. Then we left for Hector’s house for the team meeting. We discussed the second chapter about the Irrefutable Laws of Team Work. We discussed our goals and discovered several things that will hopefully help our team grow together and not apart. We finished at 12:30 and Rachael cooked chicken burritos for everyone. Afterwards we took Lucky back home and then drove to Ahuachapán to take Carlos home and do some shopping. We checked a store that we hoped would have a crockpot but it didn’t. We continued on to Ban Ban to get a cake for tomorrow to celebrate Javier’s (Edgardo’s son) 16^th birthday. Then we went to a hardware store and bought some more powerful lights to better illuminate our front door. The guy who sold us the lights spoke English and his helper asked for Della’s name. Della spelled it out using the Spanish alphabet and the owner translated it by repeating the exact same thing Della said. It was funny… Then we went to the grocery store and bought candy for the piñata and a few other groceries. We got back home at 4:00. Lucky taught her first teacher’s seminar today. Lucky got home at 5:15 and said it had gone really well. Della, Lucky, and I ate hamburgers and fries for dinner. We all enjoyed a nice quiet evening for the rest of the night.
