3/22/14: Day 20: Youth in Action

I checked the fluid levels of the van because there was a big puddle of something underneath. It turned out to be power steering fluid. Mini Carlos arrived at our house at 7:08 AM and we went to the gas station to buy two bottles of steering fluid. We then picked up Hector and then went to Shucutitan to pick up three of the teens. Hector went up to get them while Della and I waited. While we were waiting Lucky came walking up in a dress and high heels. We told her we would have gladly picked her and but she said she was afraid she would miss us so she started walking. She said she was dressed up because she couldn’t figure out when she needed to dress up and when she didn’t. We left for Ahuachapán at 7:55 and arrived at 8:30. After dropping off the teens, Hector and I went to get Carlos and ice cream for everyone. Franklin and several others delivered a powerful message about having a good attitude during devotionals. Then we all ate the ice cream which tasted wonderful. Della and I ate sandwiches that we had packed for lunch then Osvaldo asked if we could drive his family home so we did. We got back to the event hot and thirsty so we bought some cold water. Della had a head ache all day due to being tense while driving down the mountain last night. During the second half of the youth rally they discussed controversial topics like should women wear dresses or pants. I spent the second half talking to a high school student that wanted to practice his English with me. The final activity the teens had was to have a competition to blow all the flour out of a bowl, it made for some good pictures. We finished at 4:00 and took the teens home being careful to deliver them each to their parents. On the way home I had to buy three more bottles of steering fluid and chairs for tomorrow. We finally got home, exhausted at 6:00. I now have to finish the lesson on Exodus for tomorrow, have Della translate it, and come up with four new lessons on Leviticus.
