Breakfast was eggs and sausage. Yum. Today Team Dirty Mattress went to roof a house. We literally had to chisel the roof off with the back of a hammer. My muscle's are thanking me for that now. Then I swept the whole house's roof, then Liza swept the add-on thing. I developed a blister on my thumb will probably have a scar. Yay, another to my collection.
Funny Stuff
When passing an open manhole thing. "Its like ninja turtles. You can cool off. I'm the travel agent."-Phillipe ..... "Turtle in the half shell!"-Liz
After construction we returned our sodas bottles in to get one free. But there was no Manzana Lift! Its like my favorite drink, kind of like apple cider but lighter(?). Yummy,yummy! At VBS we had 65+ kids. I had a group of about 9. It was hard to tell where one group started and another began. We did a hard Oriental Trading Co. craft, lesson, balloon animals, and Vale did this one game where you have to reach,spin, and crouch when she says. All of us that did it, regretted it because our muscles yelled. It was fun though. Liza had this one little girl cling to her the whole time, while I had my Niellie!
Adrian, Aimee,Ashra, Liza, and Me hangin out
After everything, the people we knew from last were the last ones to leave. We prayed with them and said goodbye, with some of them crying. Which made Vale cry, which made me cry. So yeah the whole way home I just laid down in my lap thinking,praying, and crying. When we were getting out Vale and I saw each others faces and decided to talk about it. It was really bittersweet with more tears. About how those kids saw how we really cared and how Gods not gonna give up on them.And even though we knew it was going to suck, we came back anyway.
=] I miss them all sooooo much. ='[
Carl and Rick show their Moves
Later that night, we went into the community and invited people to the Tapias for an outreach thing. We sang songs for the little kids than put on rap for the teens. They got up and started dancing. It turned into a dance off!! Carl, Rick, and Antonne all "battled out." Miami also did a skit based off of the well known "Life house" skit. When everyone went home some of us stayed up and sang praise and worship with Vale on guitar! It was amazing again!
