There was a WILD PARTY!

The days here give me lots of time to hang with kids.

Sitting and coloring with a kiddo can be fun.

When's the last time you were able to do that?

It's probably been too long. You should do it, it's fun!

Here is one of my friends trying on my glasses.

It's good to sit with kids and just talk and play. 

Back home it feels difficult to have time to do that.

This is Erin, her family of 5 are here from Canada.

They play with the kids and do work around the orphanage.

They will be here for several weeks and even though their 3 kids are missing school, they've brought school work with them. Can you even imagine what a great learning experience this is for their kids?

One of my favorite sayings is: A mind stretched by new experiences can never go back to the same shape.

A team from San Jose are here and threw a party for all the kids and workers from all of the homes.

One of the days I was sick and my friend made me some natural tea with a few leaves.

She also made me a bottle with a mixture of oils to put on my aching back.

Both helped!

There are things that the people of Mexico know about healing that your grandmother also knew.

I think these things have been lost in the last few generations in the USA.

They are still fairly common knowledge here and I love that.

And I was able to install a couple of toilets with the funds that God provided.
