Things I did this Halloween
// November 1st, 2009 // Holy Random Batman!, I just started writing and..., Life
Packed all the El Colli stuff in the truck and van in a tidy and organized manner (this has never been done)
Ministered to tons of kids through song, dance, and helping with the day’s Bible story (I was a discus champion, and I was good at it)
Handled a parent’s questions in Spanish by myself (and figured out who her kids were)
Discovered that being called “Gordito” by the local kids is, in fact, not offensive here (I’m still not sure I believe that)
Lashed out in a passive-aggressive manner towards people yelling nonstop in the study room (I apologized later and I should have handled my need for quiet in a more tactful fashion)
Ate a lot of honey-roasted peanuts and hershey’s kisses. (I truly think this might be the best combination of snack foods)
Wrote a paper on an amazing book (the paper is below, and significantly less impressive than the book)
Admired Seth’s and Baby Henry’s incredible costumes (Baker In Training for Seth, Pooh and a Pumpkin for Baby Henry)
Had a great chat with a mentor (although part of it was more hilarious than mentor-mentee relationship)
Ate amazing food, all throughout the day. (Home-baked goodies, tomato basil soup, baked potatoes, yum)
Did the best makeup job I have ever done for Mike’s demon outfit (Seriously, he looked Joker-esque)
Complained about the egregious lack of good tape in this country (I honestly have no idea how they hold their stuff together without the glory of duct tape)
Continually ran back and forth between a fake party and the Judgment Seat, where I then draped myself in a sheet that wouldn’t stay up (due to lack of good tape) so I could play God
Met a couple of very cool new people and got to practice my Spanish in a long car ride around 1am. (They said I spoke very well!)
Had a very healthy and helpful chat with a very good friend on the way back from that long car ride. (I’d been looking forward to this particular conversation for a while)
