When we first arrived nothing really shocked us. This is our first time In a country like this. The airport was very nice and the people where friendly. What did shock us was the fact that most of the people here speak 3 or 4 languages. English not always being one of them.
One regret I do have is not learning more Spanish before we left. The people ere are so friendly and patient with us while we struggle to find the words to say.
We decided to walk to the first site in Friusa today. It was only about a 10 min walk. We didn't have a clue where we were going at first but we gave it a go. We found the back entrance and found someone who spoke French and I was able to ask if we were at the school.
We have been blown away by the great food and the wonderful hospitality of the people here.
One guy we came across today at the market went out of his way to help us find our hotel. He didn't want any money for helping us, a rare occurrence. Him and his wife said that they knew we must be with pastor pasquel, probably spelling his name wrong, and said he is a friend.
Tonight we are going to a young adults group at the church in Friusa and tomorrow starts the work we came here to do
