Finalmente, el fin de semana!

February 10, 2006

Well, I hope don't dissapoint anyone but I didn't keep a journal of everyday this week like I did last week. Instead I will just try to recap. Right now I am at Pedro and Nicole's house. We invited us to stay here for the weekend. Tonight we are going to Burger King for supper and then tomorrow we are going to a movie...in the Dominican, AHH! Me and Sandra are so excited because we get to be tourists for the weekend! They are going to take us to some of the historical sites in La Vega. (by the way Jarabocoa, the town that I am staying in, is a suberb of La Vega) So we get personal tour guides.
Okay, but as for this week: well, the schedual was the same as last week. We did talk about our outreaches a little bit (for those of you who don't know we have outreaches at the in April where we go to another country for about a month) The outreach options are. Uzbekistan-Asia, Peru- in which we would need to travel by boat for three days to get to the village where we would work, North Africa-where we would work with the Saharawi tribe (they are refugees from Spain), possible Guyana- in South America where we would work with a woman who has taking on many responsibilities in her city, including an Aids clinic, AND the love of my life, Haiti. I don't really know where I am suppost to go yet, I'm still waiting on God. By the way, if you ever want to hear some pretty intence stories. Talk to me when-sorry I have to go to burger king now.
Okay, I'm back. What I was saying before it that if you ever want to hear some pretty crazy stories come to be, I'm not gonig to put them on here because I don't know who all will be reading this and I don't want to scared people.
Anyway tonight was amazing. It was SO much fun. We kind of celebrated my birthday and we went to Burger King and this was the first time Nicole and Pedro had been to Burger king in like a year. It's a lot more expensive for them here. But when we were there they got me one of those Burger King Crowns and told me to wear it for my birthday (as if I didn't stick out enought already being as white as I am) and Pedro took down some of the balloons they had a decoration, it was pretty funny, and they sang happy birthday to me.
After that we went to an ice cream shop and I got this really good ice cream, Pistacio. Then we all wanted to take a picture so we used the timer on my camera. I was setting it up and they were all ready and then I pressed the bottom and hurried to get over to where they were for the picture but the camera was kind of in an unsteady spot and I nudged it and it tipped out of place and then I was trying to hurry to fix it because we only had ten seconds before it would flash but I just kept running into things and I ended up knocking over a chair and the camera and just got a picture of the ceiling. We all were laughing SO hard. It was just like something that would happen with me back home. But then we finally go the picture.
After that we just walked around town for a little while trying to find an open store. (If you want to hear the interesting storie of why, girls, I'll tell you later.) Then we finally did and then rented a movie from a video store the Nicole's uncle owned. Then we walked back to there house and watched the movie until we went to sleep. By the way, Pedro and Nicole live with Pedro's family and it's Nicoles job to do the dishes so I helped her for that night too. I don't really know what we're going to do today. I think were going to go see a movie. They said that if we come over another weekend, that we could probably go to the beach. Well I think that's all I have for now. Adios!
