Yes laughing is good for the soul we have confirmed. But what’s also done good for us was what we did this morning. Adriana invited us to go with her, Martica and her mother-in-law to a Christian bible study for women. Glenca, the lady who hosted the bible study at her home, was nice and shared with us that she has involved God in every aspect of her life since she was 16. She’s married and has three girls. We prayed, we watched a video and we had a light and healthy breakfast that consisted of bread, cheese, and fruits plus hot chocolate. Yonseili and I stepped outside for a while to get some sun because the house was like being in a refrigerator. Glenca's wife David talked to us for a bit. We talked about their dog and how Estrella was not acting normal. She needs to be taken to a vet.
We left the house and walked down the street around the curve to get a taxi. The four of them got a taxi and Yonseili and I got a separate one since we needed to go to an ATM in Fybeca. We needed money for the Mercado Artesanal.
When we got home Adriana told us she was about to call us to let us know she would go with us to the market and the park El Ejido. She had previously said no because she'd probably be busy trying to fix/replace the microwave she got from SuKasa. She made quick breakfast for Carlos and shared some with us. Carlos was dead tired from the night before because he did the Caminata del Quinche.
We left with her and Juan Jose. When we were halfway to Shyris she stopped and said she wasn't going anymore because it was going to rain down hard core. It in fact looked that way but Yonseili and I still wanted to go. Yonseili told her she should still go with us and if it rained a lot we would go back. We got a taxi and headed to parque El Ejido.
There were many stands at the park and thank God they had a porch-like things to block the rain. We were there for a long time. Thankfully my host mom is really good at negotiating because she helped us get so many good deals. When we were leaving, I had to put on a plastic poncho. That was interesting but awesome.
McDonalds was the same as in any other place in the country. The difference is that here you have to ask for more ketchup because they only give you two packets of it. Then, when you ask for more, you get two more. It's the same with napkins. It's great because there's less waste but it's horrible when you want more than two packets of ketchup.
We came home in a taxi and by that time the rain had stopped. Later Yonseili and I watched the movie TAKEN. It was nonstop action. We liked it.
Highlight of the day: I enjoyed the bible study very much.
