Oh, All The Places I'll Go: Thursday is Mural Day!

is tomorrow really friday?? friday, as in our last day here? thats impossible.

Ryan's laptop got better internet service this morning so i was able to blog on the Daisy's Children website! which you can all read here! (Click the word "here" to go to the website) :)

not much more work to do on the drainage system outside so not a lot needed to be done outdoors today. inside the Guarderia, there was a lot going on though. kids were doing watercolors in the meal room while we closed off the big playroom to paint the mural! after watercolors, a few of the girls started making monkey bread with the kids (monkey bread: (n.) a delicious pastry-like dessert made with biscuit dough, melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar; made in a baking pan). the girls made the biscuit dough and then had the kids roll balls of dough in cinnamon and sugar. came out soooo good!

so a little while before lunch, ryan asked if anyone wanted to come to the nursery to pick out flowers and trees for the yard because we were going to plant on friday. i'm curious, i wanna see what a Honduran nursery looks like and Ryan says it shouldn't take long so i volunteer to go. my friend Kaysha and our faculty leader Sara also volunteer. so we hop in the van with Ryan, Maria Elena, and Pastor Anthony and head to the nursery. now, we were expecting a half hour drive...a little over an hour we get there hahaha after 50 minutes i thought we were going to be going all the way back to San Pedro Sula! but we got there and we picked out a ton of plants, it was insane. and on the way back we stopped to get some drinks since we already missed lunch at home (banana soda--try it!!) and we also stopped to get some sugar cane (yumm!) and some fresh bananas (double yum!). so we were gone a long while, and by the time we got back our team was just a little bit worried, it was a little funny.

but while we were gone, the rest of the girls got SO MUCH done on the mural and we were really close to being done by the time we got back. so by dinnertime, we finished the mural and it looks amazing! we painted the kids hands and had them make flowers with their handprints and we wrote their names under the flowers they made. it looks so good :)
