A lot of people ask me: What is a normal day in Uruguay like for you? I think they are disappointed when I can’t tell any stories of combating small creatures and 10-foot snakes. I haven’t driven a barely-functioning motorcycle across desert-like terrain to remote churches, nor have I ridden an elephant, been tested for Malaria (praise the Lord) or seen the devastating aftermath of government elections. Uruguay is a fairly calm country and although it does have its minor adventures, I’m afraid to disappoint people with the lack of exciting stories. The day usually begins early with either a trip to the pool to wake up and stay in shape or prayer meeting with other missionaries. This past month I have been blessed with the opportunity to work at a local school with English classes and the kids in the “educative daycare”. When I come home from that, it’s either a rush out the door to kids clubs or a night of preparing lessons for the next kids club. Lesson preparing, though I love it, does suck a lot of energy out of me as I write the lesson in English, then translate it to Spanish, then have it corrected. The days of the week are fairly busy and I really enjoy that! Saturdays are usually dedicated to doing nothing or exploring around with the Corts. Sundays are what I like to call “nap day” and I’m usually pretty faithful at sticking to it. After a 2-hour church service, a stop at the local fair and lunch, a nap is most welcome. When I wake up, I usually try to get to the beach, then it’s back to preparing for Tuesday’s kids club!photo: a street in the 'Ciudad Vieja'... the bus driver was pretty excited that I took of pic of his bus.
