Guate(VOH), Days 40-45

Sorry I haven't written about my time- I have been having too much fun to sit on the computer!

I arrived at Village of Hope on Wednesday morning and got right to work hand washing sheets, towels, pillowcases, etc in the outdoor pila.  One of the electrical poles (or something like that) had caught on fire and so there was not any electricity.  I thought it was kind of fun and thankfully the power came back on Thursday afternoon!

Thursday we woke up and took the rest(most) of the laundry to the laundromat.  We figured that we would be washing by had for DAYS in order to finish, so this was a better option!

Friday was a relaxing day in Antigua.  We went to the market and then ate at a mexican restaurant.

Saturday we cleaned out and painted the pantry cupboards then just relaxed around the house:)

Sunday was EXCITING!  The two other "interns" and I left the home at 8:15 to begin our adventure to church.  We started with a 45 minute walk to the bus stop in town.  Then we got on the bus and made it to Antigua in about 1/2 hour.  There was a running race going on in the town, so the roads were closed and we got off the bus and walked for about 20 minutes.
We got to church 45 minutes early!!!
Then after church we did all of this, just in reverse order.  The only difference was that this time, the bus was FULL!  We had 6 people sitting across the bus (3 in one seat, 1 in the aisle, and 2 in the smaller seat on the other side of the aisle).  There were also people standing up, all the kids were sitting on people's lap, and it was PACKED FULL !!!  But, it was a fun adventure:)
