El Guayabo

I've been here a little over three days now and I'm adjusting well to all the transitions. I think that it has helped a ton to have stayed with the Turcios family when I was here before because that gave me a little glimpse of what was to expect, but there are still many transitions and changes that I am adjusting to.


Today was my third day up at the community center. It's been wonderful to work with the kids and help teach them. God is doing to do some amazing things in this community. Today all the kids learned how to say my name and the rest of the day randomly they would yell out "Alyssa" and I would ask them what they needed but they would say nothing I just wanted to say your name...it was funny( the best part was the huge smile on their faces :) We had a lot of fun playing this afternoon because since it is Friday the kids have a bit more free time and they love that I will play with them and today all they wanted me to do is to swing them around in circled while holding onto their hands....it was hilarious :) then I have piggy back rides.

I finally took some pictures today of the community center and of some of the kids. So here are a few that I took...I'll post more on Facebook when I get a chance.
