This morning was all crazy between key finding and
interviews and all that, we finished interviews finally at 2:30 pm.
Then we stayed at the church to help the members get ready for the Christmas
Activity that night, so we helped engineer how to build a stable from bamboo
and palm leaves, actually turned out really well. And as we were helping the
Primary kids make cookies, the light went out. Again. It had already gone out
from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm, and then went out again at 4:00 pm. Grrr. So that made
it really hard to bake the cookies. And it gets dark here at 5:30 pm, and we
had to wait until the light came back, which it finally did at 7:00 pm. So we
just talked to the members and played with someone's pet dog and waited. I also
made some paper crowns for one of the presentations. I loved how the guys asked
me if I could do it: "Hna, can you draw?" "Uh, sure, what do you
need me to draw?" "Well, we actually need you to make 3 crowns for
the wise men." "Alright, that's fine, where's the paper at?" As
if drawing skills are an important prerequisite for crown-making. So that was
kinda funny, I had a group of amazed people all watching me cut out paper
crowns. Yup. It's fun here.
So we finally got started on the activity, and we had to go
home by then because it was late, but we got some dinner out of it so that was
nice. Some kind of shredded chicken in sauce over to tortillas, really yummy.
