Day 5: Another day at the office/A tribute to the best blog in the world

So, today we got up nice and early. We ate some breakfast (which consisted of grapette pop, oreos, and quesedillas). Brent spilled some Tampico juice...life was good. As a group, we were enthusiastic on our way down to the project BLAM! (that's the name we gave our service project). We didn't finish but we got a lot done :). Hopefully we can finish up on friday.
After working in the pit we did kids camp for the kids and it was awesome. We made beautiful butterflies and Becky, Father Greg, and anonymous guatemalen girls played some locos ochos. T'was a great time. After dinner us guys got to take on the NPH team in a scrimmage. We held our own for awhile but the stuck it to us in the end. O well...we'll take what we can get after a hard days work. Love you all! ;) -Dave P.

Alright so HOLA! this is Jesse and Brent here now (jesse on the keyboard). We have been practicing our new Guatemalan accents and trying to pick up on the local whistling techniques but have yet to succeed. We will not despair. This morning we woke up to Nathan singing the theme song to Wizard of Oz and had an amazing breakfast that shouldn't have been. Brent spilled some Tampico juice....life was good. After breakfast we all checked our pulse and found we were good to work. After a few calistenics Brent and I were ready to work. We went and got the tools and went down the hill to see our adversary...Project BLAM! for those of you who don't know Kane and I are pickaxers while Brent is one of the best hoes we've ever had. (we call the people who use the hoes hoes). Kane David Aaron Terry and I named our picks. In the correct order from above: Katrina (because Brent and I call him hurraKANE) The Widowmaker, Fathead, ,and Collosus. We worked for 4 hours straight before lunch like the day before. Had some rice and potatoe salad tasting looking meal. It was delicious to Brent and I but Dave is a hater. The jury is out. After another embarassing lunch for me and Brent because we cannot whistle and the kids love to make fun, we went back to work early. We worked for another two hours with some amazing help from Alex, who works here at NPH. And Elmer who is a boy here who loved to help us. After that it was time for KIDSCAMP and we made some crafts the same as the day before. There was an 8 year old who showed me and Brent how to actually to tricks with a futbol (soccerball). Nelson here could do the rainbow perfectly, not to mention an around the world (for all you futbol fans). After that it was time for dinner. Dinner consisted of more rice of course, witha black bean sauce. Meh, weakest meal by far if I do say so myself. Then it was time for us guys to go play futbol with the locals. We started with a few kids from the home but then we had to leave for their practice. Little did we know we would be partaking. We were asked by thy greatness, Johnny, if we would be willing to put together a team of 7 to scrimmage the NPH all star team. Kane Brent Dave David Aaron Erik and a local TILLMAN took them on. we lost...of course. only 6-2, with goals being scored by Kane and Brent. We were very proud. We served our country well. Then it was time for devotions and we were let down at first. Brent and I were promised a song. I SAW THE LIGHT. we were not going to be singing. We played games though. There was a partner game, anatomy shuffle. They would say two body parts and the first person would be the first body part...etc. One time when Terry said TOE BELLYBUTTON...Brent misheard him and licked my bellybutton with his tongue. We were out. You get out if you're the last group to do what he says. After a long and amazing prayer session we sang one song...I SAW THE LIGHT. rock on. Brent and I were going to hoedown but unfortunately forgot. Now we are sitting in the luxury sweet where the adults get to stay (some). We are writing this tribute to the BEST BLOG IN THE WORLD. (which we wrote earlier...but forget.
