It's been a month already!!

I can’t believe that we have been living here for a month already, it’s crazy!! The past weeks have been so great! :) This morning instead of having Spanish class we went to visit the orphanage that we are going to start going to as well! It's called La Casa de mi Padre, and there is a bridge house where older teenagers live. On Monday's we will be at the bridge and on Friday's we will be at La Casa de mi Padre. This morning we looked around and then attended their Friday morning devotional. The missionary who started La Casa de mi Padre is from Staunton, Virginia. Which is crazy because that is like 15 minutes from where my grandparents and cousin live and where my mom grew up. I was really excited that he knew where Waynesboro was. :) The devotional he gave was AWESOME. He shared Psalms 78:1-10 with us, which is:


1 O my people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth. 2 I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old-- 3 what we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us. 4 We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done. 5 He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children, 6 so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. 7 Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands. 8 They would not be like their forefathers-- a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal to God, whose spirits were not faithful to him. -Psalms 78:1-8


He explained that Psalms 78 is why they run the orphanage like they do. On Tuesday we went to Metamorphosis again and I made shoes! ...Well the men pretty much made them but I glued some of the stuff. :) Our girls Bible study went great again! I really can feel us growing closer and closer each day! Next week we have decided that as a group we are going to fast Internet! I'm surprisingly okay with this and excited! I think it will really help take away some distraction and help us to really focus on what God is asking of each of us! And it will also help us grew together more as family. :) The boys decided that we are going to have Bible study on Monday nights and then Family discussions on Friday nights, I am pretty excited about that! :) I doubt that I will blog again before our Internet fast but I will definitely sometime after! :)
