| When we were walking down the street 15 boys came and smeared black paint all over us, I guess it has to do with Carnival. |
So this past weekend Julianna, Sara, and I went to one of the cutest little towns i have been too, Shell. We went there to help at an orphanage with about 50 kids, all raging from the ages of 0-12. I love working there. The kids are just so sweet. So we got to shell thursday night, we had all day friday and saturday there. We worked from about 8:30 until 11:30 we walk home to eat lunch and to just chill/take a nap all of us were so tired, kids really wear you out. Then we would go back at around 2:30, thats when the older kids would get out of school(There are teachers, ecuadorian and american at the orphanage to teach them school, they are also bilingual.) I think one of my favorite parts about working there was when we walked in a couple of the kids would run up to us and give us HUGE hugs, it just made my day. I think it is so good when we go and help there because the tias there don't even really play with the kids, which I think is so sad, but they love to see people who will actually play with them. The whole time I am there I have something to do, which is nice, not a single dull moment. On saturday evening it was so hard saying goodbye to these kids. But I am oh so thankful that God gave me this opportunity, and I can't wait to see what God is planing for me in the future. Hopefully something to do with kids.
Yesterday during Bible we read about Job. He is one amazing man. Everything he had (except for God) was taken away from him. His family, all of his servants, his animals, all of this. Yet he still trusted in the Lord. If only we could be like Job. He trusted God that much. Oh and to top it off he had boils all over his body, he was miserable. He wanted God to just kill him right there. But through God he made it, and now he is with God in heaven, because of his trust in the Lord. He is one strong man, I just want to pray everyday that if God took anything away from me, that I would not turn away from him, after all the Lord gives and takes away.
