Grrrrrrrr :)

Ok, so I FINALLY get a chance to write on my blog and share pictures I got of MY GIIIIIIIRLS!!!!! AND the internet is working! All systems go, right?! Nope!! lol
"Blogger" is updating something, and will not let me upload the pictures.

BUT- I did get to see my girls. :) I was so excited! I didn't even know what to do! I mean, I wanted to run to them screaming "TE AMO!!!!" ('I LOVE YOU!!!) But they'd most likely run screaming. :)
Wendy is doing so much better! Laughing, smiling, even dancing! So cool. And Lidia's doing excellent! She went through a really rough patch where she was so angry.... :( But she was smiling and playing when I saw her! I'm so happy I got to see them!

We also went the the Caderyeta yesterday. It's kind of like the Rio- a homeless area. I cry everytime... :( We helped clean up, and I held it together! I was doing fine! lol Then we went to a church there in the Caderyeta. I later found out the pastor of that church has a salary of $50 a MONTH! :( yikes.
One of the things that really was cool was their worship and prayer. Their worship sounded like one giant hour long song!! It was cool! I didn't know the words, but it sounded awesome. And their prayer- they all pray at once- out loud! It was awesome. And to see how passionate these people were... really encouraging.

So I even made it partway through THAT without crying! Then- a man dragged in two really drunk men. It kinda blew my mind. I didn't really know what to think. :( It made me really sad. :(

Today we went to Imperio De Amor (Empire of love- how cool is that?!) One of the children's homes. We worked on leveling the ground so we could pour concrete tomorrow, then played soccer and basketball with the kids. :) I actually played!! It was fun! I was awful, but it was so fun!!

I really like the group we have now! It was cool, cause we only have one this first week. (We usually have 4-5) It was a nice way to be eased into it all. Most days I still have no idea what I'm doing... but God's been working it out! Most nights I come home completely filthy and exhausted. I wake up around 6am and go to bed about 11pm everyday. I have never felt so happy or fulfilled or excited to wake up. :) I truly feel like I am where I belong. It's like breathing a sigh of relief. :)

Well peeps, I'm wiped out, and am comes REALLY early! I'll try again to post pictures tomorrow! I wish I could've posted some tonight! I have so much to show you!

This I mean to keep telling you-
We can't flush toilet paper where we stay- we have to throw it in a trash can cause the septic system can't handle it.
We can't drink the water where we're staying
I had the bright red hotdogs!! (Salchichas-I got a picture this time!!)

Night night folks! :)

  2. Hi Kel-Love your post. Hopefully Blogger will be up an running soon. I am so excited to see all of your pictures. You mean the folks at Caderyeta sing more than your church? Now that's some Praise and Worship! I know you are enjoying hearing the prayer time too. I'll bet is overwhelming.Maybe the Lord directed that man to drag the two drunk men in. Drunk men need to hear the word of God. Maybe they felt the holy spirit. We know very well that only God can help people suffering from addiction. I am amazed that you are able to get up a 6am you ight owl. I'll bet that was a Hughadjustment. Nothing going on here. Dad had another double header last night. They won one and lost one. I didn't make it to the gym Monday. Hoping me and dad go today to always, I MISS YOU LOVE YOU AND CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOU. Have a great day. XOXOXOXO
