3/30/14: Day 28: Teen Party at My House!

Spent the morning memorizing the short prayer and then went to meet with the church at 8:30. Hector forgot about me leading the prayer so he said I could do it in the afternoon assembly. At 10:00 all the teens came over to our house and we talked about the second half of the celebrations listed in Leviticus 23. The lesson was a little rough, we had to work to keep the focus and I kept adlibbing and Della needed to stick to the translation she made yesterday. We made it through and went back to the building to enjoy the potluck lunch with everyone. For the first half of the meal we had no forks so everyone ate with their fingers. The food was great and had a good varity. After lunch I went to the market and bought some supplies for the teens to enjoy. Then all the teens came back to the house to: hang out, play games, and make origami. We made giant origami cranes and played For Sale and No Thanks. Lucky translated the rules and played some. We went back to the church building at 3:55 for the late gathering. Hector’s step dad (who has our van in his repair shop) was there to give a status report. He said that he felt sorry for me that I had it due to all the rust and other problems it had and that it was very difficult to work on and find parts for… but on the plus side he said that the new power steering pump would be delivered tomorrow so I would not have to go to San Salvador to get it.  After services, Della and I took the dog out for its first walk with us. We walked all around town and up to the catholic cross that overlooks the entire city. Hopefully tomorrow, I should have the day to prepare the four lessons that I will teach this week on Numbers. 

Origami fun with the teens at our house!
