Locked in....again!

Today was another bright shining day in Ecuador, we hung our sheets out to dry...

So I worked on my Spanish this morning, practicing in the baby house. Then Natasha went with for another doctors appointment, so I really got to practice! I really enjoyed it! I had a good "conversation" with one of my favorite tia's. She know enough English to supplement for my little Spanish! But its very good practise for both of us! We took two toddlers over to the pool for awhile. Some people came over to see the children while we were there and of course they shut the gate door...... So we get all done in the pool and find ourselves locked inside again.... we hollered for awhile, then we moved a big barrel over to the fence and I climbed up and hollered over the fence some more.... ALFREDO!! Finally the guard on the other side of the street heard us and unlocked it for us!! yah! I definitely wouldn't mind if this doesn't happen again! I don't know about their system here....

After swimming, I went down to see the older children for a little while, they were all kind of having a rough morning, but it was great to see them anyway! :)

This afternoon, we kinda wandered around doing random things.....we seen the baby's, played with the older children, helped out with some donations and had a good visit with Jen (volunteer coordinator). I went into the group house to look for a couple of my shirts that have been missing and I found 2 out of 3, not bad! Then we seen the last group that stayed there had left a bunch of food, so off we went to ask if we could have some of the left overs...So we went grocery shopping! :) It was great fun and such a blessing! We headed to the baby house in time to help with bottles and I was able to  feed my favorite baby boy! Usually I have to set it up with Natasha to get him, but this time I didn't! :) So to end our day we had pizza with a bunch of the volunteers, it was very nice to spend time with some other friends! Sometime Natasha and I spend to much time together... :) lol when you begin to know each others next move, and we don't make plans without the others input.... But its quite different when you are living in another country! We really do need each other!
