Today was a pretty slow day once again. Woke up to a simple breakfast to be followed by a trip to church. This was a short walk of 2 blocks from my front door. Here there are many churches scattered around the city and the only ones I've seen have been Evangelist and Catholic. This aligns with the statistics that Christianity is a prominent religion in Guatemala. As I sat in the pews throughout the service, I may no have understood much of the readings, but the comfort of the familiar ceremony was much appreciated. How would I have felt if I were in a country where my religion was not openly accepted and/or practiced? After church came more lines in the kid's notebooks as they start classes tomorrow. So. Many. Notebooks! As the family left to attend their own church service for the night I returned to the rooftop and soaked in the sun while, you guessed it, marking MORE notebooks They're endless, but the family appreciates it and I can't think of another laid back activity for a Sunday afternoon so I did it anyways. Anything to keep Mama happy. :) Tomorrow is back to the orphanage and I start my Spanish lesson tomorrow so I am preparing to use extra brain power. Side note: If you haven't already, check out my GoFundMe page. Every little bit helps and the personal hygiene products I already delivered were very much appreciated! I will keep the account open until February 26th and donate the money to the orphanage in my last week there. Click HERE to check it out!
