Day 4...So much Fun!
So, today we woke up and went to the food kitchen. We dropped of another lady named Luci (a different Luci from Julios wife) who is in charge of fixing all of the food. There is a pavilion there that the kids play their games on that was very dirty. We scrubbed it with soap and water and swept it...pathetically it took us about an hour, but that is some darn clean concrete! 
Then, we went to pick up the certificate that allows the kids to be out the week of Campamento Esperanza. After that we went back to the food kitchen and sat with all of the kiddos as they ate their food. It was soo sad to see them because the fact that they were in the kitchen, meant that they dont typically get to eat very often. At the same time it was soo nice to see them because they were stuffing their bellies with nutritious food. (Potatoes, meat, cabbage, carrots, rice etc.)



After the food kitchen we went to get agua pura
and then went home and Luci had another delicious lunch ready for us. Chicken breast, vegetable salad, and mashed potatoes. SOOO GOOD! They eat bigger meals for lunch and small meals for dinner. Oh yea, then after eating lunch, we shaved John's head. Mark started out doing it, but made a big mistake in the back (too short) so I finished it up. I really like it!

After eating lunch and some hair salon time:), we went back to the camp and had Awanas..Oansaz in Spanish. It was so much fun to sing with the kids, color with them, and play games with them. We loved every second of it. The boys went and played soccer with the older kids, and Im pretty sure that they are exhausted!!
Right now, they are downstairs watching a movie (Ice Age) with Dara and Harris.
That's all for the day. We are getting up early to go into Guatemala city in the morning to get a basketball goal for the kids. We couldnt find a nice enough one in Zacapa when we went the other day. Ok good night!!
