Grande Cafe Mocha Nonfat

Today was awesome! Florencio said I didn't have to go out to the mission points today since we wouldn't be teaching the Christmas songs, so I had a free day. Tomorrow starts the beginning of all of the Christmas celebrations. Almost every night, from tomorrow until I leave, we will go out to a different mission point to distribute toys to the kids.

Anyway, so today Jenny picked me up around 4 and we went downtown to walk around and go souvenir shopping, then we got some fresh fruit juice (mine was pineapple) and tacos at her favorite place to eat (where the cilantro salsa is to die for), then she took me to Starbucks! Thank you large corporations that have to make your mark in every major city in the world! I'm so grateful to you right now! Oh and Sunday she has invited me to come home with her after church, where we'll go to another service where she leads worship at 3, then go to a Christmas Cantata that night, and I'll spend the night and we'll go to the celebration monday night.

Things are getting better, but I'm still sick. I just finished off the 200-count box of Kleenex that Maria put in my room when I got here. I used all of them in a week & a half. Gross. That's not even counting the 3 mini packets I've already used when I'm away from the house. I'm still having problems breathing at night, too. So, if it doesn't stop in the next few days, I might need to change my flight.

Tonight I went to the church and practiced with the band for Sunday. They have me playing bass...which is usually easy....but they don't use music or chord charts! They just go by memory, which is a bit difficult when you have never heard of the song. They also use Solfege (do, re, mi, fa, etc.) for learning parts, which is crazy! I tried to keep up though.
