Uneventful Weekend

Last week was pretty uneventful. I say that, because, well I can't remember too much that happened during it. 

Lets see, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday went pretty normal. I took school off on Thursday because I hadn't slept too well the night before. On thursday afternoon I met Emily down in the Mariscal area to say goodbye to the missionaries of her church. It was really nice to say goodbye to them because they were really helpful to me my first few weeks here, and I know that they are always there to help me even though I am not a member of their church. After talking to the missionaries for a while I went with Emily to buy a Bible in spanish that she could take on her trip to Guayaquil. She searched everywhere in her backpack for her money. But she couldn't find it. She also couldn't find her mp3 player. Although I was still thinking hopefully that she had just forgotten those things somewhere, she was positive that they had been stolen. And she was right. We had been planning to go to the art market nearby but instead we went to Emily's house to do some damage control. She called her dad and cancelled her debit card and she called her friend to borrow some money. I lent her enough money for a couple of cabs so she could get where she needed to go that night and I was a shoulder that she could cry on. She left for Guayaquil that night and has been gone all weekend. She was supposed to get in pretty late last night, so you should all check out her blog for information on how that went. 

Friday I didn't go to school because there was a university fair for 5th and 6th courses and so 1st-4th courses didn't have to go. So I slept in again. When Gabi finished school she came over to my house and we hung out. Then we headed out to go to a family from church's house for dinner. Well, we headed out in the perfect amount of time to get there. And when we got off the bus we headed up the street to their house. Their house is very far up the hill, and I told Gabi that I would recognize it when i saw it. Well, it was raining and we had walked pretty far and Gabi and I gave up on my ability to recognize it when I saw it. So, I was going to call them. Well, I didn't have minutes on my cell phone, or their phone number. So we walked all the way down the hill, went to a Pharmacy so I could buy minutes and then we walked back up while I was talking to my host mom (who, I had, thankfully, given the number of the house we were going to be at) so she told me the number and I called them and aparently we hadn't walked far enough. So we ate dinner with them and stayed at their house until Saturday afternoon. 

So that was my very uneventful weekend. 

Peace,
