The End of Week 2

The Interns at Porta de Angel, a really nice steak house.

This week was not near as eventful as last week, but God still came to work. We had a devotion every morning with this man who worked for Buckner named Eric. (Marion translated for us). They have all been really good. It´s nice to have since we haven´t been going to church. We will be going on Sunday though, and I´m really looking forward to that.

In the mornings we painted the entire inside of the baby home and helped paint a brown trim as well. It´s pretty much done, but all the rooms don´t have a brown trim which is ok. We´ll probably finish it later.

Here is one of the beautiful little girls at the home. She goes in the morning while her mom is at school. She´s just learning to walk which is so fun.

In the afternoons we would go to Remar and work with a group of girls in VBS. These girls were so much harder to work with than the ones in Huehue, but they still loved us being there. Some of the older girls kept asking Lindsey and me to sing songs in English to them that they know in Spanish. I´ve picked up spanish words to some songs.

Yesterday we went shopping in Antigua. It was such a beautiful city. I loved it so much. I only ended up spending like $70 on a lot of stuff, but I still paid too much for some of it. We got to go up on this hill that has a giant cross overlooking the city and it was one of the most amazing sights I´ve seen so far. It helped that the sounds of children laughing and play from a school could be heard as well.

I love it here. The group of interns has been bonding so quickly and we´ve become such a tight group that is always having fun. I don´t even want to think about leaving them. I´ve been having nightmares about having to come home early. I want to take full advantage of my next two weeks. I love it here. I love the city, I love the culture, I love the people, but most of all I love the children. Maybe I´ll want to come home at the end of the month, but I don´t want to now.
The most important thing to me is that I don´t want to go back to life how it was before. God has shown me so much and has already moved so strongly in my life that I know I can´t go back to my old life. I want things to change dramatically. I want my prioities to be different. I´m praying for change. I´ll definitely get it. I´m sure I´ll be glad to be home, but today I´m not necessarily looking forward to it.
I think the happiest you can ever be is when you are in completely in God´s will and doing His work. I´m pretty much there and I don´t want to leave. I am so blessed for this opportunity.

My heart is here.
