Day 26, Sunday, February 5th, 2012 DAY OF SUPERBOWL!! 

Part 1

I did it!! I am here in Volcan, currently enjoying a deliciously sour lemonade in a somewhat fancy looking restaurant. I just finished with the Spanish meeting,  and I have an hour-ish before the English meeting starts. So since I haven't eaten anything all day. I decided hmm 1 o'clock seems like a good time to eat. :) Would you like to know why I haven't eaten anything all day? okay! I will tell you!! (Side note: The dude waiter had tap shoes on…weird? I think so! Also across the street is a mormon church….creeeeeepers!) Okay so this morning at 5 in the A.M. I woke up like 'OWW!!' My stomach was trying to talk to me, it was more like yelling at me really. Thanks to my nerves I am guessing I got myself sick twice this morning. That's not good I thought, because if I am already having stomach problems and the road to Volcan is CRAZY-CURVY!! How am I going to do it. But come on its the SUPER BOWL, for goodness sakes! So I got all dressed and packed and went inside. The mom asked how I was. And I told her because of my nerves for my talk with my theme and my 15 year old householder AND knowing I need to translate a Sunday talk I got myself sick. So what did she do? She made a tea OF COURSE!! A tea! That solves all of people's problems. haha. It tasted like I was drinking a tree! And she packed me some to take. But I didn't want to eat breakfast, one because breakfast here is SUPER greasy and two I didn't want a full stomach on those curves. She gave me two bags, just in case she said. But she folded them up super tiny so that I wouldn't waste space. Well thats nice I thought, and when I need to use them? How will I get them open in time?? She just laughed. Well then I got on the bus to Rio Sereno, the whole ride I was like don't think about the curves Don't think about the curves! I was going to buy some Saltines when I got to Sereno. BUT, when we were pulling into the city the bus for David/Volcan was leaving so I got off of one bus and jumped on another. A more curvy bus. Its the SUPERBOWL people!! The SUPERBOWL!! After the third curve I thought uh-oh. I need to unroll one of my bags. 2 seconds later. I didn't alcansar the unfolding process. But I was able to divert the other passengers. The guy that stands on the bus to charge and tell the driver where to stop looked at me like. "OH MY GOSH! She exploded!!" I wasn't waiting for him, I pulled the door open myself, almost falling out in the process. Two different pairs of arms grabbed me and held on. The bus slammed on the brakes. And strangely everyone was pretty cool about it all, like it happened all the time. Weirdos! The money guy had two towels designated for sick passengers. I would not trade my job with him EVER! He had a bottle of water for rinsing out your mouth, and hand-sanitizer, but he didn't have gum! The good thing is that I didn't have anything in my stomach except for tea and two ity bity pills. So it was like mopping up tea after an English person spilt it on their marble floor…only drastically different!! :) Anyways, my poor next seat siter was like "Uh-oh! And the whole way he was pucking into a bag he got from the money guy. he finally got off. And can I just say smells are enhanced when your at puke-capacity! Just saying. Some of those people are doing a world of hurt on others. Luckily I then had a bag that was already opened. A lady sat next to me and the clod around her sat as well. Gonna need this bag, I thought…and I did need it, a few times. One word for that lady…soap…no..more then one word. Soap and a scrubber and scented candles to carry around with you…lit scented candles! Anyways, I finally got here in Volcan. And I thought hmm…bathroom, then teeth brushing. I found a store that had a bathroom but I was pretty sure the lady hated my very core because of the look she gave me when I asked to use it… I am sorry lady that I made you do your job! MAN!  I should have just gone on her floor, at least then she would have a reason to hate my very being! >:) But I didn't! Anyways, after all that mess it was time for the meeting. So I went to the Spanish meeting here. 175 people!!! For a sunday meeting!! After the meeting I went and found something small to eat and then I went back to go to the English meeting. I found out the dates for when the Kleins the new circuit overseers here, will be here. Since he was one of my Pioneer School Conductors I am going to come down and visit when they are here. Go to the meeting with them. I met a few different families here, so I will have places to stay for a night or two. :) Should be good. I just don't have English books. Oh well. :)
