Day 4

Today was the first time I got a sunburn this entire year. Including the summer in
Wisconsin. Weird thing is, it'll only get hotter from here.

The boys had their second soccer game of the year. The first while I was here. But first
we had to attend a meeting in Santa Ana where the mayor was giving a speech about how they
were giving out about $1000 dollars. About $125 for each team in the soccer league. Also
there was more money for other projects in the are. Fixing up the school, etc. The mayor was
45 minutes late (not surprising, this is Honduras). And the meeting took longer than
expected, which also meant the games started later than expected. Our game started about 3
hours late. Haha.

The game was kind of a mess. We put in a goalie we weren't too familiar with, and he let 5
goals go in the first half. Jon put someone else in for the second half who only let 1 goal
(that he and I saw, apparently according to the officials they ended up with 7 points at the
end of the game, when we only saw 6) past him. It was a much better second half.

The boys definitely have discipline issues, and don't listen very well. Have you seen "The
Bad News Bears?" That's our team.


Fortunately that was all we really had going on that day, so when we got
back to the ranch we ate lunch (it was like, 3:30 I think) and rested some.  We did a few
small things that needed to be done but it had already been a long day, since we left the
ranch around 6:45 am.
