I have a few things to catch you up on. There was a group of 23 fro Denmark that stayed on the base and worked with Alvin for a few days. They were really weird at first, but after a while you start to get used to them. The only thing was that every time they were sharing something at church or at the prison and needed to be translated, they were being translated from Danish (which literally sounds like drunken grunting) into spanish, so I never really understood all of what they were saying. But they were amazing at soccer, had singing prayers, and had amazing happy birthday songs. It was really cool to work with them in the prisons, and they were amazing with the kids on the street. It was obvious that they really enjoyed having so many people out there. It was sort of like a party on the streets.
Now, the group that I have been working with that is from West Virginia is going to leave tomorrow, and I´m gonna be all by my lonesome. Kind of a sad story.
Right now also the trade school and the base are both becoming unavailable to Alvin. So to end Alvin´s renting the trade school building we had to tare down some walls, and at the base they are (literally right now) taring down the wall between a church service room and the dining room. Needless to say we ate dinner outside and it was amazing. Lot´s of walls coming down in this country.
