July 30th – Wednesday
This
was a full day. We started with devotions, which were good. We then went into
the main building and handed out the bags of hair things and candy for the boys
that Mom and Stacia sent. The girls and boys all say thank you! After that was
the normal course of events leading up to and following lunch.
Roseta, Citlaly, Roxann
After
lunch we had a nice down pour that cooled everything down. Arielle and I and
some of the children watched Disney Channel while it rained. Other went and
played in the rain. While we were watching Arielle and I put corn rows into
Dennisse hair.
As the
rain was dying down Arielle and I went to clean up the craft room from all the
quince preparation. We were just finishing sweeping when Lilia and one of the
neighborhood ladies walked in. The lady is expecting a little baby girl, and
had just asked to have the baby shower here on Saturday. This meant we needed
to get invites made and out tonight. So we set everything up and made adorable
invites for the Baby Shower.
This
led us right up to Wednesday night service, so Arielle and I grabbed some
puzzles and coloring books and set them out. The children did a great job at
first but eventually they decided to do their own thing and chaos started to
reign. We had had enough of trying to control the chaos and having things
thrown at us and doors slammed in our faces so I went and got Lilia and she
straightened them out. Sometimes it’s enough to make me rethink working with
children! But I have to remind myself that it is only a handful that winds
everyone else up and the language barrier really is an issue.
After
service we sat around and hung out for a little bit and then ate dinner,
cleaned up and went to bed.
Here is a picture of all the beverages involved in our continued good health

ACK I kept meaning to get treats for the BOYS. I'm sorry. Meant for the candy to be for all. I don't mind sending a package direct to Mexico if you send me the address. We'd love to get another one together.....
Lol don't worry they liked the candy and there is enough that all are getting some :-) we will be gone before another package would arrive. However if you would still like to send one I can get the address.
Yes, get the address. We'll send one back after Arielle gets home. We'll have her pick what she'd like to send.
Will Do
