Hardin Team Two

     The second team has arrived and we are busy yet again. Saturday me, Taylor, Patricia, and Claudia rode the bus to the mission house to help clean. We were there for part of the day and then went back home to rest. The team came in around 9:30 that night, but we didn't see them until Sunday. 
     On Sunday morning we went to Belén church again. After the service we split up again and went to Sunday school. It was much the same as last Sunday (aka couldn't understand the message:). It was Father's Day here in Nicaragua yesterday so the church had an evening service. After lunch and a good nap the team headed back to Belén. The service was somewhat long and everybody was hungry by then. It was nice, though, because they recognized all the fathers and some of the kids had poems or songs they performed. The pastor that spoke was apparently quite popular even in the States. I'm sure his message was great. They had a piñata as well, but we didn't get around to it. Once they started the diaper changing contest between dads that's when we left. We had dinner and then hung out for a while. The girls and us headed back home to get some rest before the next morning. Unfortunately, the girls have university this week so it's just Taylor and I with the team. 
     This morning we visited La Panamá again and I was so happy to see our girls:) They all hugged us and Taylor and I got more little gifts. One girl, Angie, gave us a gift with a note that melted our hearts. She told us we were her best friends and that she loved us. I don't know how we are going to say goodbye to them on Thursday. 
     We only got in three buildings today for lesson four because this morning we were stuck in a traffic jam on the way to the school. In a little bit we will head back to the school to work. This week we will be working on the kitchen. 
Adios for now!
