After I finish posting this, I´ll finally be up to date with my blog and I can start to look to the future. It´s taken about three days to upload from the 17th March onwards.
Today was our last day with anything scheduled.
We spent the morning having a debrief discussion in which we went over all of the positives, negatives and gave some suggestions for improvement for OM. It was a really valuable time and was great to relive some of the memories of the past few weeks. I´ll give a little summary of the trip at the end of this week so stay tuned for that.
After that, I again did very little. I helped Andrew and Jess cook lunch which was beef and sauteed potatoes in an improvised random sauce that turned out delicious, even if it did take two hours.
After that, I took a well-deserved (cough) trip to the Panaderia with Jonny to get a cinnamon doughnut.
In the evening we went to Clint and Becky´s house for dinner. They are a couple who moved to Volcan a few days before we left for the outreach - they´re full-time missionaries and are here to help set up a training school for OM. The food was delicious - a range of pastas and sauces with ice cream and coffee for pudding. Listening to them talk about their experiences of missions and stuff was really interesting - I´m still fairly sure I´m not called to do long term mission work but it´s fascinating hearing all their stories and how they balance family and work. He said the key is to put family first always.
They´re a very nice couple and their kids all have a great sense of humour even though they´re fairly young.
I showed a few of my photos after the meal and we then said our goodbyes and came home.
I then posted eight blogs, of which this is the eighth.
FINALLY I´m caught up!
