Life is Never Boring in El Salvador

These past few days have all run together and they have been a little crazy. Ill try to update you from where I left off.

On Sunday we went to church (in English) at a place called the Union Church. It was nice to be in an English speaking church. After church, Lorraine had us over again for lunch. She has been so hospitable to us and she is a good cook too! Sunday night we ordered pizza for the girls in the house. They LOVE to eat! I also made them a cake but it was the worst cake made in history. They dont have measuring cups and I put wayyy too much water in it. Oh well, they still ate it.

On Monday we went to CISNA. It was also Lydias 15th birthday. Due to a miscommunication (we have those a lot in this country) we didnt get picked up. We ended up sitting there until about 530 or so. For her birthday dinner, Lydia wanted to go to KFC so all of the interns went. It was actually my first KFC experience. I had to come all the way to El Salvador to try Kentucky Fried Chicken. haha.

It was raining when we left KFC and as we walked outside to meet our driver, KT slipped and fell really hard right on his head. Almost immediately he had the largest bump on his head that I have ever seen. Long story short, Lorraine got us connected with a doctor in a nice hospital and they ran tests on him and kept him there for 24 hours. Praise God that everything is fine, it could have been really bad. We all spent the day at the hospital with him yesterday and left around 9pm.

This morning I woke up with a fever. Not really sure why, probably just worn out. I took the day off and slept a lot this morning. I really hate feeling sick and I really hate that I couldnt go to CISNA today, especially since it is my last week. My fever just broke not too long ago so Im hoping and praying that tomorrow Ill be back to feeling 100 percent.
I cant believe Ill be home in just a few days. It will be so weird to be home knowing that other interns are still here. (KT and Teddy are here until August 8th). Ill finish this post with a few of Laurens pictures that she has posted since she has been home.


Pictures - 1. Cuca (cockroach) that was drowning in our toilet. Yes they are this big and we have at least 2 every day.
2. The volcano we hiked. The picture doesnt do it justice, it was horrible.
3. Me, Ester (center) and Jamlet(right) at the girls detention center. I have written about Ester before. Jamlet is pregnant with twins. I love these girls.
4. Interns before Lauren left. From L to R, Teddy, Lauren, KT, me and Chad. Wonderful people!
