The Happenings

These past couple weeks things have still been going great, here in El Salvador. I just praise God that I have the opportunity to serve the Lord here. I truly love working with the children in Guayabo, even on those days when I am stressed or tired, they always make me smile! :) Since I have been here a month the kids and I are starting to bond and they are actually starting listen to me now, which is very important because many of the children pretty much have free regin in their homes and haven't really ever experienced discipline or have been taught a lot of what we would consider proper behavior, so when I would tell them not to throw things they wouldn't really listen but now they are starting to listen to me, PTL!! I know this is going to be a process and some days are better than others but I praise God for this progress!

I have also have had a few times in the past couple of where I have had to "exit my world and enter theirs" and I have to say it's a lot easier said than done!!! Exiting my world and entering theirs is something we learned about at SPLICE and I'm SO thankful that we did, because the times when I have encountered these moments, I did not expect them and I wouldn't have been about to do it with out God's help. During those moments I was so very thankful once again for the time I spent in CO at SPLICE!! I am so amazed at how much I use the stuff I learned at SPLICE everyday. I also miss my amazing friends so very much! I would love to be able to go shoot some hoops and play some Monopoly Deal with the Posse!!

Here are some more pics of the beautiful children I get to work with everyday!! :)
