It has been a while since I write on this blog. However, there is much to tell about the remaining days at San Martin de Pores near the city of Cochabamba, Bolivia. During our second day at this center, some of us spent some time in the library with the kids. First, some of us learned how to play "uno diez" - a game literally translated to one ten. Later, a kid asked if I could sing. Not knowing what was ahead of me, I said yes. All of a sudden he gave me some lyrics, played some music in the background and had me sing. It did not help that other people in the room including Alfredo encouraged it. I think its possibly some of the worst singing, I've done, but they seemed to like it (or at the very least be amused by it). After we left the orphanage, we visited the sanctuary to the virgin of urkupina.
Our last day at the orphanage, began with a game of "quemado" or dodge ball. The kids continued to be curious about the different hobbies or abilities we, missionaries, had. Lindsay and I gave a quick lesson on Latin dance and others showed their respective talents. At last, departure time came. It was as you'd expect, a sad goodbye. Later that day, we visited the market at Cochabamba, which was made up of multiple small booths containing almost everything you can expect to see in a department store.
