Dia del padre12/4/2023 ![]() Yes, we do read comments, including new comments from old blogs. Tonight, we had a seminar to mentally and emotionally prepare for tomorrow, which will be one of the most difficult days on this trip. We all were reminded of home because of this filling meal. Then, we had a talkative dinner filled with deep conversations about our future dreams, as we ate classic burgers and chocolate ice cream. Sorry, no spoilers! I can say, though, that each individual team diligently contributed to the design process, and we are ready to present it tomorrow to German Hinojosa, who is the principal of the school we are working with. Once everyone got back to the hotel at 5:00 PM, we continued developing our CAP Project. We also discovered that there is a corner store directly across the hotel that is extremely cheap. We, however, were surprised when we met two friendly Mormons from the US. We went on a mission for ice cream, but we failed because most stores here close early on Sundays. Most of us went with Kate to revisit the Internet Cafe, where everyone tearfully and successfully contacted their loved ones. Then, we went outside for a second round of free time. Also, a friendly boy from our hotel, who is named “Elvis” guided us to a bakery for ice cream cones.įor lunch, we enjoyed fried pork, chicken breast, locally-grown potatoes and beans, cheese, savory corn, strawberries & cream, and passionfruit juice. We struggled to figure out the prices of items, but we survived thanks to Josue’s amazing translating skills. Before we went back to the hotel, we checked out a 50¢ store, but nothing there was 50¢. We visited two internet cafes, both of which tried to make the calling rates more expensive for the group. We tried to find a bookstore for Asha, but we couldn’t find any. Lucinda and Emily N came out of the store with several heavy bags of chips, cookies, and juice boxes. In my group, we visited a supermarket called AkÍ to stock up on a lot of delicious snacks. Just kidding! They had a wonderful time exploring, playing in a local park, and buying snacks. What Kate’s group did was confidential and emotional, so I refuse to write about them. I was in Emily’s group with Lucinda, Josue, Emily N, Lucy, Kalei, Emma, Ariana, and Asha. Then, we split up into two groups led by our GGLs, Emily and Kate, and prepared for our free time exploring Guaranda. We had a classic meal of eggs, bacon, and buttered croissant with a side of dulce de leche. Breakfast was filled with everyone’s exciting energy. I silently knocked on Madison and Crystal’s door, but they encouraged me to fiercely bang on Asha and Emily K.’s door. Asha even said herself that she was used to waking up at 6:30 AM. Apparently Emma, Ellery, and Marelyn had already woken up before me, so that made my job easier. I woke everyone up at 9:00 AM, or at least I thought so. As much as we Glimpsers have already trained under the mindset of waking up early to a jam-packed day, we all needed a day away to process this wonderful experience.
