Campaign Day 2

This morning we left for our campaign at 6:30 to arrive in Uspantan around 9. We knew what the deal was this time and set up our things and were not shy to start talking to people about our products. This time we brought stoves to show people and even had one cooking popcorn and hot chocolate. We were able to successfully make popcorn, but we had accidentally mistaken the salt for sugar and added it to the hot chocolate instead of the popcorn! The popcorn was a little flavorless and the hot chocolate was salty, but other than that we looked like we knew what we were doing!

Attempting to make Hot Chocolate with Salt...

Anna giving an eye exam to a very old woman who could not understand or see anything but just wanted to talk. 

I am talking to a woman who bought glasses and eye drops.

Muoser giving an eye exam.

We sold about 15 pairs of glasses and gave many more eye exams. I was able to give my first near eye exam and successfully sell a pair of glasses that had the perfect magnification for the client. It was a great feeling to give a test to someone who could not read past the third line and with glasses could read all the way to the bottom! What I found more challenging was when I gave an eye exam to a woman gave her the perfect pair of glasses where she could increase her vision to be able to fully read but she did not have the money to buy the glasses. I could only give them the number of the office to call if they got the money to afford them. It was a pretty successful day and a two hour car ride back. We were able to relax in an internet cafe for an hour before we returned home. But before we did Muoser went to a local hair cut place for this....

Notice the eye brow...

When I walked home it was pouring rain and I returned SOAKED from head to toe. I was the first one home and unlocked the house until 5 minutes later my family returned. My mom Nilo changed my bed sheets and washed my clothes. We played with a purple monkey they had which we ended up naming "Purple" which is a hard word for them to say. We then played super mario for a while and then they introduced me to grand theft auto. What a fun game! In 20 minutes we had killed police, gotten arrested, died, rode a plane, helicopter, and a boat! For dinner we had an egg soup with hard boiled eggs and a little spaghetti of course with tortillas. It was actually delicious. We returned to my bed and played a little more on the computer until I told them I wanted to go to sleep. They could stay in my room forever if I don't tell them to go. 

Tomorrow I am going to wake up for another 6:30 run but this time with Whitney and Anna. I am extremely tired but there is a singer that is celebrating a Saints day next door who sings on his microphone until 3 in the morning. I did not sleep well last night and I am thinking the same is going to happen today... Good night for now! Hopefully I get some sleep...
