Sunday, January 23

This morning was another adventure at church. Thankfully I found the church without any problems and enjoyed good fellowship. However, on the way out of town, I noticed the gas tank was getting low and didn't know if I would have enough to get home so I decided to stop at the gas station. How hard is it to pump a little gas and pay inside? I figured I could figure it out. However, I didn't count on not being able to figure out how to open the little door that gives me access to the gas tank itself! Of course, my mobile wasn’t working, so I couldn’t call anyone for help. Finally, I decided to drive to the missionaries house and ask them for help. Thankfully I remembered the way and only had to wait a few minutes before they arrived from church. They looked at all the buttons and gadgets in the car and then the missionary mom looked at the gas tank door and pushed it. Whala….it opened! I figured with as many buttons as the car has, there must be a button for the gas tank too. Who knew it could be so easy! 

Helena wanted to read in what we’ve dubbed our “reading corner.” It’s really a wood bench under a couple of windows that let the most natural light in. We read for a while until Gloria came over and wanted me to do her hair. I spent an hour braiding her entire head of hair. Mark said she looked like a bleached black little girl. She looks so cute! She’s hoping it stays so she can wear it like that to school tomorrow. 

For dinner, Mark made spaghetti and the girls found great delight in concocting different salad dressings and having us taste test them. We graded them the salads on appearance and taste. Gloria won the appearance award and Helena won the taste award.
