El Salvador Mission Report - Day 14, Alyssa
Aug 25, 2010Day 14, Monday, August 23
So today me and pastor Tara, Amanda and Pastor Montano went horseback riding. This time was even better than the first time. Pastor Tara rode her favorite and i rode the no name crazy one, and Amanda rode the paint. The ride was very interesting. Rafaelle surprised me by pulling a freshly killed rabbit out of a bag and handing it to me laughing. It was kinda weird but funny at the same time. Me and Pastor Tara raced. She insisted that she won, but we all know better :) The second time i rode my favorite the gray that i named Cataschnickey. They did not have enough saddles, so I rode bareback, which was fun. He is young but a really good horse. The rancher Rafaelle is
a really nice man and I like him alot. He does not charge us anything, he just likes to see us have a good time. While we were riding I saw a few people from my church and they were really surprised to see me. It was really cool. We went to eat at the vegetarian restaurant in Santa Ana, and it was good. I was really hungry because riding takes a lot out of you.
That night at church was really good. The sermon went good. The people were a little loud, which was kinda frustrating but i know part of it was beacause there was a deaf person there, and that created a lot of commotion, but it was still a good night. Afterwards Pastor Montano came to pick me up. No one wanted to leave so we were all there talking and laughing. The people seemed to get a kick out of my horror that there was a frog the size of a small dog around my church.
Mauricio, my favorite boy at my church, is going to go with us to the beach on Tuesday, so tonight he slept at our house and he really liked it. We stayed outside at the church for maybe 2 hours after the service ended and it was nice! It got really dark because there were no lights, but other than that everything was swell.
