Feliz Ano Nuevo!
First thing in the morning, Chad and I gave the
kids their gifts. Finally! Nothing wrong with a belated Christmas, right? They got the towels. Okay, pretty cool. They got the
cars. Awesome! They played with those poor cars all day. Within the first hour,
Moises broke his.

| Look at that face! |
 |
| Each boy got a car |
 |
| Vroom vroom! |
We cooked rice and I made my mom’s famous tomato salad. It was a big hit. Then Chad went into
town in the afternoon.
The kids and I then cleaned the house real well
and did some laundry. In the afternoon, it was soccer time! We kicked the ball
around for a while until we had a random neighbor ask to use the cement mixer.
We found it together and I helped him haul the mammoth onto…a cattle drawn trailer! How cool is that! And it handles like
a Ferrari!

| He had amazing control over those cows |
 |
| The rope he had was short...we made it longer |
 |
| That mixer is not light |
He left, we played more soccer, then we ate.
Then Joy and Chad came back…and my day took a turn for an
adventure.
Joy needed to go back in town at 9 p.m., but
since one of our female volunteers got attacked by 3 men last week while
driving in the dark she was obviously a little frightened. Chad had just spent
his allotted budget money in town and wisely did not want to spend anymore, so
I gladly obliged to “protect” her to town. We arrived after almost running over 5 innocent
dogs (the light on the mototaxi is pretty weak) and then she hooked me up with
a room for the night.
Well, I need to get some shut eye—sounds like Joy will be working me hard in the morning.
Thankfully, it seems that the adventurizing will continue on for 2013 as well.
Should shape up to be a great one! Hope the best for you guys as well.
Cheers to a great year!
**Keep adventurizing!...I know I will!**
