The story behind poor Manuel is that there is a man in the group who might have some sort of limited cognitive ability. Very nice but comes up with crazy things to say sometimes. This morning we acted out Moses striking the rock and water coming out. This afternoon the folks we taught this morning became the teachers. Though he was in the morning session, Manuel wanted to be the water again (paper streamers tied to a child's plastic bracelet). Someone called his name and he gave away his "water" to leave the room. He came back into the room quickly and discovered that he didn't have any "water" so he grabbed some steamers off the table and ran to where the water was flowing (steamers are being raised up and down). Just as Manuel got in the circle the story was over, and poor Manuel was left standing in the circle looking around like a child who has had the red licked off his candy.
We have had an engaged, fun, energizing, inquisitive group of people to teach.
Katherine had to use some of medical skills at helping a lady who had fallen and scrapped her knee very badly. Beside our hotel is a pharmacy so we bought some extra first aid supplies this morning for her.
Dinner today was at a Chinese restaurant, Hong Kong. Unbelievable amount of food - 8 people and enough to feed an army for $54. We have so many leftovers that we are taking them to Proteccion tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the dedication. The afternoon will be traveling to Nueva Frontera where we put in a system last year. Lots of mountains to travel!
