Week 2 .....check!

Hope your all doing well! its sooo hard to believe that its been 2 weeks, they've really flown by!

Yesterday I shadowed the pediatrician at the hospital, and I almost understood what she was saying! The Lords definitely been giving me opportunities to learn spanish and understand it. Which I'm incredibly grateful for because my friend here that usually translates for me is leaving next week.

well, today we went to the Casa de Alegria (house of joy). its a home, for girls, around 10-20, who are from troubled homes. They were put in there to get them away from their abusive homes. We had a chance to help them put screens on the windows as well as just love and play with them. They're such a solid, joyful group of girls. We are going back tomorrow to hang out with them some more. We are going to make the good news bracelets (the ones with the yellow, black, red, white, green beads), and do their hair and nails. It's an awesome feeling being welcomed by these girls. They are sooo open to loving you and being loved back, it's incredible. I'm really looking forward to seeing what tomorrow brings,and I'm really hoping that the message comes across of the bracelets. These girls are already raised in a christian envirment, but when hasn't God touched lives there?

God's been teaching me alot about letting Go. a lesson that is extremely frustrating because as you can imagine. . it involves taking things away from my control lol but I'm so excited that He's showing me what He's doing because it makes it alot easier to give things away.

Gods given me an opportunity to memorize scripture with some of the people here that I'm absolutely siked about! Its so encouraging because I've had more and more opportunities to get into deeper convorsations which absolutely makes my day!

Prayer requests:
-Health. Gods been good, I'm healed :) but my friend julie is still fighting a stomach pain, so if you could be praying for her that'd be awesome
-travels. People are leaving. 2 tomorrow, 1 thursday, and 4 next tuesday. Alsoooo, were going to get a chance to go to the jungle for a open health clinic this weekend. So please be praying about that.
-continuous spanish comprehension
-Peace about my new friends leaving. everyone here is leaving me, and I feel like I just started cliquing with alot of them. very disappointing lol So just peace that God has a plan throughout all this.

Love ya'll! peace out ;)
