Day 4 8/16/12 - Matt Danmyer

Today we got to sleep in until 730 am. We woke up and ate plantanes and then we went to play with kids. We arrived at the school and there were 60 kids ranging fro elementary to middle school age. we played kickball, dodgeball and volleyball. They did not understand dodgeball, but it was a lot of fun. After that we drove to Oscar's community and did a water filter demonstration for the town. Oscar took some of the team on a ride on a horse. After a long ride and listening to a lot of country we arrived at the farm. Unfortunately after 3 times and a lot of cheering our bus even with the expertise of our driver Ronnie we could not make it up the hill. On our way back we encountered the bull Lula. I tried to corral it back to the farm but it turned on me and made a few aggressive gestures. It got real. Luckily Nelson swooped in and corralled the cow back into the pasture. After we arrived back at the farm we play soccer with the group and the boys from the farm. The boys were much better than us. After an hour Don Tony asked us to on an errand. Taylor, Coach Greer, Daniel, and I agreed to go. Don Tony was very appreciative. He said it was only 2km. So, we went on our way to get some cheese for the farm. We found out 100ft down the road it was 3km not 2 so it would be a lot more walking. It quickly became dark so we were glad Don Tony gave us a flashlight. 50 minutes later we arrived at the house where we received 7lbs of cheese. Very muddy and very tired, we headed back more quickly to complete our quest in just under 2 hours. I jumped into the shower after the journey and found out there was no water. Don Tony turned on the water and I was finally clean. We ended the day with songs, testimonies, and a lesson from Mr. Scott.
