One wild and crazy day!
Today began with a 5am walk around Antigua. Breakfast was shortly after and then I led the group with a devotion. we read in Luke about Mary and Martha- when Martha is like, why is my sister not working and just hanging out with Jesus. We are reminded that "ministry takes presidente over projects."
Next we hopped on the coasters- us interns brought along our luggage- and drove to the Malnutrition Center. Cynthia led us on a tour of the center and we got to see our awesome dorms. We have bunkbeds and a really nice kitchen and bathroom (separate of course, but both really nice).
Then, everyone just jumped right in with the work- we had a maintenance team, puppet crew, and the ducks and squirrels had craft and story time. It was great. After lunch I got to do the same devotional with the ladies at the center using a translator.
All in all it was a fantastic day. The four interns cooked quesadillas- really Marianna did- and we ate with some of the women here and Vannessa our translator for the week. We are so excited to be here (finally!) but also worn put from a long day. Hasta luego!
