Once I was awake enough to function this morning, I was sent
straight to the Lord in prayer. I found
out that one of my favorite little 2-year-old boys back home was at a hospital in
serious condition after a big fall yesterday.
My heart was broken for the family, and still is, but my prayer has been
healing and an increased amount of faith in Jesus for the parents and the kids. Thankfully he is doing better, but prayers
are most definitely still needed! God is
so good all of the time.
This incident made me think how hard it is to be here while
knowing someone I love dearly is hurting – it is a definite area where my faith
must increase as well.
My day with the kids began around nap time, so Malaki and I
hung out for a long time coloring while the other two slept. He is such a creative little guy! Pictures were a must after all the coloring
and creating we did.
When everyone was awake again, we went to the park. Cora has such a unique personality that makes
me laugh a lot. After laughing at
something she said while on the swing, she said, “I crack myself up into pieces.” Gotta love that. J
I traveled into the centre tonight to meet Becca for some
language practice at a local place. Before
she got there, I was being the “tourist” and taking pictures of the city at
dusk. The thought kept coming to me: “I
live here.” I love it. I know there are going to be times and things
that are tough, but right now, I’m still intrigued. This is such a unique place. Not only is it a great atmosphere, but it is so beautiful.
(My intent was to have pictures with this post, but I'm giving up. Just check the photos tab. Also, I can't get some of them turned right-side up. I must go to bed though. Lo siento! J)
