Today was the type of day that seems typical for the missionaries we know who are out of language school, in the zone, and doing the daily grind of ministry.
Car: Mandy drives girls 45min to their homes and then returns 45min for language school. No A/C, trying to beat traffic, just a LITTLE stressed :)School - 1:30pm - 3:30pm. Final exams tomorrow and plenty of homework, a dip in the pool before studies? Nope... 3:45pm get an unexpected text that Maicol needs a ride to ministry because the bus will be too late...
Bus/Train: Maicol is without the car because he obviously navigates public transportation with more ease. Realizes his phone never charged so he is without the cell today. Leaves home 8am for meetings an hour away. We have not been able to open a bank account for a month because of red tape so he has to talk to a bank in this other city to fix the problems, again. Ministry meeting with a mentor until lunch. Takes the bus to another meeting for internship. Leaves on a bus and then train to get to basketball ministry which starts back in our city at 5pm. Arrives in Porto Alegre at 4pm to catch a ride with Mandy to basketball ministry...
And the heat just makes this day seem more busy and exhausting than it already is! This is the daily grind for us, glad we are seeing the finish line! Mandy has just a couple months of school left and Maicol is graduating in May!
Low:79F (yea, not so low)/ tiring, busy day and still plenty of studying and paperwork to do!
