Puerto Rico Orientation is finally done
Orientation officially ended yesterday. It was an awesome first few days from playing music, to orientation sessions to getting to know folks on Project. Yesterday we got to just hang out and relax and planned for group date. Each week on project each of the male D-groups have to ask a female D-group on a group date. It's a Campus Outreach tradition on project for the guys to get to know the girls better. We planned out our elaborate plan to ask our girls group out. Then we headed off to La Travesia. It's the church we go to on Project. Our D-group helped with set up and began our group date asking out plan. What we did was took pictures of the girls when they weren't looking while holding up a note. The first note was asking them on group date and each of the following 5 were clues for them to figure out who it was. We texted the pictures to Peter who texted it to them (a friend of mine involved with Campus Outreach) back home so they couldn't look up our numbers in the Project phone list. They figured it out finally after the 4 picture. It was fun and they thought it was cute. Now back to La Travesia. It's a local Puerto Rican church that Campus Outreach goes to each summer. The fun part is, the entire service is in Spanish. I picked up the prayers here and there. The songs were easy cause I knew the English versions. They gave us a script for the sermon in English so we would be able to understand it. Ronny, the pastor is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy and is now the past of La Travesia. After church, we all went out and had mofongo, some Puerto Rican dish, which was pretty interested. Finally we came back, hung out and went to bed. It was a great way to end Orientation.
