hey everyone! today was the day that the groups all came and the summer officially started! it was insanely busy but it was a good day. we were up at 7 and had meetings at 8 and then we got to clean the entire campus from top to bottom until the groups arrived at lunch time. I got to clean the entire kitchen and paint soccer goals which took a while but it was fun. It got up to 115 degrees today, which was ridiculously hot. i didnt know i could sweat so much or in so many places. we had a pool party and cook out with one of the childrens homes Imperio De Amor. it was really fun those kids are so cute. i got close to a little girl who was 2 her name was lupita. she was so cute! (check adams blog there is a picture of me and lupita). it was a lot of fun. we were so busy today this is the first time i have sat down and actually relaxed. everything is going really good though. i am already seeing all the changes god has in store for me. it is really different being an intern this year. i guess i am a little more mature than the last time i interned, but i can see all kinds of things from a differnt perspective. i am looking a lot more closely at the group memebers and how god is changing so far. the days are going by fast, but the nights when we arent hanging out or nothing is going on its really easy to get home sick especially since i cant call mom or dad, or tissy or cody or anyone. its hard, but thats the best time to pray. i have learned a lot so far and its only been 3 days. tonights worship was awesome. i got really into it and its so interesting to see the groups reactions to worship the first night. a lot of them dont worship the way we do down here so its completley different for them to see how we do things. it is good though i feel like they get a lot more into it as the week goes on. please post comments! it helps a lot to read them when i am getting homesick, to know that i have people at home who are supporting me and behind me this month.
love you all

WOW!!!!! 115 degrees that is ridiculous! When I looked at the pictures I could tell by looking at you that it was very HOT! Lupita is a real cutie. But I think all of the kids are cuties. I am glad to hear you feel so comfortable there...just like you never left. I knew when you got down there you would be fine and would be so excited to be there again. I look forward to reading what has happened day to day and I am so excited at the end of each day to read what you have to say.
ReplyDeleteWe are all fine at home and doing well. Tis and Daddy are doing good. Tis is just working a lot and Daddy is just busy being daddy! I can't wait til you have a day off so we can talk.
Have a great Sunday
Love you to the moon and back!

Tori,
ReplyDeleteI said an extra prayer for you today in church. The message was supposed to be about "watching your mouth", but everyone got so caught up in the message pastor Grant showed about children starving in other countries and all we did was pray about the missionaries out there worshipping to those in need! I know you're doing a great job!! Me and Allen are getting settled in the new apt, can't wait to see you when you get home!! Peanut is doing well too! Every once in a while I can feel a small flutter- can't explain the feeling! It's amazing! Miss you and Stay Hydrated!!
Love Chels
Hey Juice, I'm glad to see your trip is getting off to a good start despite the heat. I am so proud of you for doing this. You are growing into such a fine young lady. Things have been busy at home and at work here, it never seems to stop. I'm hoping to try out the new boat this weekend, can't wait to fish with you when you get back. Keep drinking lots of water and work safely. I love you.

I'm glad to see that the trip is going well. I have tried to write a comment on here 2 times and it will never let me. Anyways,
things here are going well. Busy working at bLOWES. Kristofer Robin is good. When you come back you need to go to a softball game with me! Everything else is pretty much the same. I'm off today and tomorrow. I'm getting a massage at Mitchell's tomorrow! But I will be home in time to call you though! I have been working on laundry, GRE stuff and grad school applications all day. I know you are jealous. I think that's it. Drink lots of water!! Have you seen Juanita yet?!?
