Today went a little slower than yesterday. I still woke up at 7 ish whenever I didn’t need to be up until around 10, its kind of frustrating. Anyway, I watched some TV until it was time for me to get dressed and go with Phil Plunk to a friends house for a bible study thing with a few of his friends. It was kind of different than anything else I’d really done so I didn’t say much(partially because I didn’t know them and really didn’t know what was going on.) We had some soup at Bonnie’s house and then I walked my way back to my apartment and hung out till about 3:30.
At 3:30 I headed out to Soloman’s Porch, a café type thing run by an American couple who use the café as a home base for their orgaanization that as he described it “is many things all at the same time.” They try and do all sorts of stuff from social work, construction, and religious work all at the same. The service was different too, a very contemporary, relaxed feel. It was a little hard for me to keep up with the message because they translated the sermon in spanish as he went, and as all translations go, it was slow and slightly different from what was originally said. Afterwards, I talked to Lloyd (the guy who owns it) and he said that they were always looking for extra help for all of their projects, so I may be helping out there too, should they need me/should I want to.
Tomorrow I’ll be headed to Camanchaj to work in the clinic there for the first time. Don’t really know what to expect so I’m trying not to expect much, it makes it easier that way. No matter what, i think i'll still be able to make a hand at something.
Passing observation while channel surfing: Titles of TV shows and movies are not literally translated. Man vs. Wild had nothing about men or wild in the title, Deadliest Catch didn’t have any death in it, and Coach Carter had nothing to do with coaches or carter. Interesting…
