A day in the life

Per my mom's request, here's a look at what my day is like here. Adjusting to the atypical schedule has been an adventure. Some days (like Thursday) you work from 8am to 10pm straight with a group, some days you're doing random stuff around the property or going to meetings, and my days off aren't always Saturday or Sunday. So here's a look at a few days this week, since no day here is ever the same.

Tuesday: Prep for a group and work on campus
7am - wake up, quiet time, and study spanish
10am - meeting
11am - bake 140 sugar cookies for the group with Kathy
3pm - go to Casa Hogar Douglas to help the kids with homework
6pm - dinner with the single ladies
8pm - staff education meeting
11pm - shower and bed time

Thursday: Helping to lead a women's group from Hope Church
6am - Wake up, quiet time, and study spanish
8am - Staff meeting and prep for the group
10am- Take the group to Casa Hogar Del Norte and Betesda for the day
6:30pm - Dinner w/the group
8:00pm - Debrief the group
10:00pm - Shower and crash in bed

Friday: Day Off!
sleep in, go to a coffee shop, do laundry, clean the apartment, read, nap, and whatever else I feel like doing

  1. I'm thinking of all the ways that you have been pulled out of your comfort zone - and this unpredictable schedule is just one more challenge! I'm so proud of you efforts, especially the work on improving your Spanish. Usted puede hacerlo!
