My church called me up to the front to pray for me yesterday, which was nice…but a little unexpected.  I always feel a bit weird in those moments.  But it was well timed non the less.  It was a bit of a rough day yesterday.  Just one of those days that you can’t pin down exactly why you feel the way you do…you just do. 

But there were some good moments too.  Jose (I wrote about him here) called me.  I haven’t seen him or talked to him since the Canadian team left.  I’ve been trying, but he’s difficult to contact.  So we plan to get together this week.  As well, one of my favourite guys, Americo, came into town yesterday.  So we went shopping for a few things he needed.  Then he, Isabel and I grabbed some ice cream before he headed back out to the home.  It was fun to have that time with him away from the home.

A quick prayer request….please pray for Rudy this week when you have a moment.  His mom is older and is having some health problems.  Rudy was visiting her this weekend and came back pretty sad and discouraged.  We took some time to pray together, but I’m sure that this will be a difficult week for him.

Before I take off, my funny moment for the week.  One night the guys and I came over to the little coffee place where I do my interneting (I may have just made up a new word there).  The Canadian team that was just here was having a desert/coffee night in Canada to report about their trip to their families and friends.  As a surprise, one of the leaders set up for us to talk with them with web cams and whatnot.  They were a little late calling us, so I bought all the guys coffees while we were waiting.  For most of the guys, this was their first time in a ”real” coffee shop, so the lists of coffees and drinks were a little intimidating (as they are to all of us non-coffee drinkers).  The guys who were sitting with me at my table decided to order espressos.   In my defense for not warning them, I didn’t really know what an espresso was either.

You should have seen the looks on their faces when these little tiny miniature cups of coffee arrived.  It was this mix of amusement and disbelief.  The guys at the other table were not so reserved in their responses.  They nearly wet themselves they were laughing so hard.  One guy just about fell out of his chair.  I’m sure all the staff standing nearby woundered what was quite so funny about a cup of coffee.  I tried to be mature about it, but after awhile I started laughing too.  It was pretty funny.  As a side note, I ordered a hot chocolate and it was…pretty bad.  It tasted like unsweetened bakers chocolate made into a drink.  I gave up drinking it after I added three sugars and it still tasted terrible.  However, later I noticed one of the guys adding even more sugar and then tossing it back.  I guess it all depends on your tastes…
