Wednesday Sept 9

Today we had class as normal, but the kids were all excited because tonight was the futbol game vs. Mexico. So they were all like “Miss, we need to pray that they win!” That’s all I hear all day by the way, “Miss” or “Miss E-Sneden.” It’s cute but sometimes it gets to me when 10 of them say it at once! Anyways so we prayed for Honduras to win against Mexico. After school we went into town because we wanted to watch the game since we have our Honduras jerseys now and everything. Samuel, the mototaxi driver who has a crush on Sarah, told us about this place where everyone watches the game. We paid some money to get it and when we went in, we were so surprised to see this HUGE room with a HUGE wall screen with what seemed like half of the town of Gracias watching the game. It was so crowded so we stood outside the open windows to watch. You could hear everyone groan when something went wrong and cheer when it went right. The game was good, but Mexico ended up winning on a penalty kick, which really stunk. So as far as I know the US is number one, Mexico two, Honduras third and Costa Rica fourth. Sarah wasn’t feeling well at all, but thank goodness Samuel was there! Haha he was able to bring us back up the mountain in the mototaxi.
