Drive-In Movie
...without the cars! Every so often we use the churches projector to play movies and people LOVE it. The taste in movies here is a little odd (think bad Disney movies that did not take off in the US haha) but it makes for a good time. Tonight we are showing a movie in Banica and what we do is project it either (1) against a white sheet hung over one of our larger trucks or (2) project it onto a wall at the park. We do the same in the campos and people sit on the ground or bring chairs from home. It's pretty cute. I am missing tonights movie becuase I am cooking dinner for the college kids who help out here three days a week. They are each on scholarships from the church, and I have all the time in the world to watch movies when I go home in December at nights at home with my loves, so I wanted them to be able to watch the movie. So the whirldwind that is Sunday - Tuesday begins and I must say my highlight of the week is going to be Wednesday. On Wednesday the Peace Corp volunteer, Keeton, and I are taking a group of teens out of the campos of Pedro Santana. We are going to read the kids at the one room school houses up there the story of Christmas! Afterwards we are going give out some of the donations we recently received (about 200 stuffed bears)!! These bears may very well be the only Christmas gifts these children will ever receive as a child and I bet there will be a lot of beautiful photo opportunities. We are hoping to go to two different schools on Wednesday in the campos and we are going to run games and activities with them as well :) it'll be great. Now I know some of you might be saying "it is early for Christmas" but it is not too bad haha! Keeton will be in the capital for Thanksgiving next week and I leave two and a half weeks after she gets back so it really is the only time. It should be a lot of fun!
