Sick Day

We had a day to sleep in today which was wonderful. I got to get up late (although I am waking up with the sun now anyway), sit on the roof and spend some time reading the word and praying for everyone here and back home.

However, my headache was worse than before, so I took some of Holly's migraine medicine, and because of that we thought I should just sleep on it for awhile and give my headache a day to heal. I'm glad I did because I was out for four hours straight with people coming in and out of my room! I was upset about this though because I really wanted to be in the village. All of the Austin Stone group girls were going there to play games with the kids and I just didn't want to stay back. Overall it was a good thing. When the group came back they told me that some kids were asking for me by name! Pretty amazing since I had only been to Pancho Mateo twice. How well are they going to know me in two months!

The other big thing about yesterday is that I learned to do a few things. Those of you who know me (all of you) know that I can hardly cook a Hot Pocket. Well, I was on breakfast duty and was assigned the seemingly easy task of cutting the papaya and cantelope, and of course I had no idea how to go about doing it! But I learned, and now I feel confident that I can cut most any fruit. Since I stayed back during the day, I helped Rose prepare dinner as well. We cooked stir fry, and I cannot believe I cooked chicken and vegetables and it actually tasted good! I want to bring my skills home but who knows.

A lot of people are getting sick so please be praying for the health of the group and of the interns. Pray that my headaches stop!
