Wednesday at Santa Matilde

On Wednesday we had our morning staff meeting at the Gables and then headed out to Candelaria for baseball practice, Tommy's leadership meeting, and Linda's drama meetings. Linda met with some young women from Chinadega who are committed there to doing a couple hour drama practice 5 nights a week. They are hoping to teach Linda some things for drama and in turn hope she can help them coordinte some dance.

After I got done doing the admin things for baseball and turned baseball over to Leo for the day, and sat in on some of Linda's meeting I biked over to Santa Matilde because I feel like I don't get see anyone from there enough. I only see about 20 people a week and even then its just the ones that come for about 4 hours worth of youth Friday.

I spent most of my time visiting with Carmen, the Sunday School leader for Pastor Walter's church there and mom of 2 sweet little girls. Both her younger sisters live with her and her husband, Luis. All 3 sisters enjoy time serving in youth group. I visted with them a little over an hour and then went with her oldest daughter to the houses of some of my other youth girls from there. I got interviews done of Darling and Osmayda for this Friday in our "getting to know other" section of Friday videos.

Luis biked halfway back to Candelaria with me to show me the through the woods shortcut path. I had time to visit a few of my youth friends there, most of which have class til 5:30 each day before heading back to Leon.
