Day 4

Good Evening faithful and noble readers!!!!!

This morning started the same as yesterday with wake up call coming at six forty five. Many people wore the same disgusting clothes as yesterday. White t-shirts were now a lovely dirt brown. Pants, well, we won't even discuss pants. We left at eight o'clock for another work day at Carranza. Bertha performed admirably as she chugged up and down gorges and weaved in and out of traffic. Work started at the church with many people discovering muscles they did not know they had. Daycare went a whole lot better today; biting was down an estimated 50%. Certain small activities were even led by RJC students. The stump crew removed a large, and I mean ginormous, root from the six hundred plus pound stump. Cement crew poured roughly 3/4 of the floor in the daycare facility amidst the shouts for mas agua (more water) and discrepancies in instructions from several foreman-ish people. We left Carranza early to once again travel in a hot, sweaty, crowded Bertha to the MCC office. Anthony (MCC head honcho for Guatemala and El Salvador) gave us an overview of MCC´s work in these two countries. The group was very very excited about the choco-bananas and cake provided by Anthony´s wife, Irma.
 Quotes of the trip:
Cole Friesen- I hate pineapple seeds. Pumpkin. (wilst eating watermelon). 
Russell: (to Jacoba) Go take a shower, Stinky Head. Don´t breathe on me onion breath. Adriana- (Passively) I think I´m on the wrong side of the road (wilst driving Bertha).
Ryan- (to Russell) You look like a chotch, trying to be a prep.
Raoul (Driver)- Mas Aqua (in reference to almost anything).
Abbey- I´ve been to Boston (in answer to the question ¨Have you ever been outside of North America¨).

The blog today was brought to you by Ian and guest blogger, Curtis. Krista was brutally assaulted by a vicious bout of the giggles (hours... literally). The diagnosis from Doctor Dan Driediger was lack of sleep. Personally, we feel she is just having too good of a time. It´s unbelievable (and/or inconcievable) what will make that girl laugh.

Ian, Curtis, and the rest.
