Saturday by Jordan reporting on Wednesday

Wednesday

I woke up, no I was rudely awaken by th sound of some rosters crowing. Its like they wanted to annoy me but I recieved my revenge that lunch, fried chicken. Our task for the next few days was to cement a floor in the orpanage. It was a difficult job but had to be done because the Guatemalin health deprtment would shut the orphanage down if they did not cover the dirt floor they had before. We finished about half of the floor after a full day of work. My job for the day was to hail wet cement from the mixer to the floor to be spread. During lunch break we played soccer against the locals, we lost 0 to 2.... hmm. I did not interact with the kids a lot because I was working all day but most of the girls were able to spend some time with them. That night we had a church, their was a some music and a clown that was simply amasing. Even though I could olny undersand a little of what he was saying he still was hilarious, but the coolest thing about the clown was that he had a biblical point intertwined with all of his tricks. After church I went with Trevor to engrave my name in the cement. After that I soon went to bed. On interesting thing about the orphanage was that it was surrounded by high walls and guarded by a man equipped with a shotgun. Its just another reminder of what a diffrent world Guatemala is.
