For some reason, the pre-Inca ruins/hairless dogs/late night ice cream day wore me out, so I slept in. I'm not really sure where my day went, but the afternoon came quickly. I spent the day reading, sleeping, drinking coffee, cleaning my room. I went to the grocery store in the afternoon to buy groceries for the pijamada (slumber party) of Buen Pastor chicas -- hosting the party kind of stressed me out the whole day because -- as you can see -- this room barely holds all 11 girls, but that's where we all slept. I went to English class at 5:20ish with Dave Block and Kay Panaggio (she's kind of researching ESL classes for maybe trying the same ministry). We were a little late because Dave forgot his license (he didn't want to get pulled over without a license again), but the class went well. I love how enthusiastic everyone there is about learning English. I got home right at 9:30, when the Buen Pastor girls were supposed to get there, but the only one already there was Claudia, who had come by herself. We ended up chatting for almost an hour before the rest of the girls showed up (a good chat). And then the insanity began. . . We hung out and talked (as girls are prone to do. . .), and then we decided to eat at about 11 or maybe 11:30. My time all runs together, so I'm not sure on times. Then we had a praise and worship time with Maria on guitar, followed by a time of Bible study, led by Adriana, and then prayer. I really enjoyed that time (but it was kind of weird that it was the middle of the night). Then we decided we needed an extra energy boost, so we all drank coffee at 3 or 3:30 a.m. No joke. It was ridiculous. Then everyone's all energized so they wanted to play this game that Eden taught them where you are basically trying to steal the socks off of the other players. Very fun, but impossible to be quiet. Elsa came downstairs at 4:30 a.m. and said, "Tengo una problema. No puedo dormir." We were pretty silent after that. We decided to start a movie at 5 a.m. ("Ocean's Eleven," or "La Gran Estafa" in Spanish). We all settled into the chairs and onto the couch, and there were about 5 of us lying horizontally on my twin size mattress. I fell asleep at 5:30, just as the sun was starting to come up.

Day 63
