So I haven't blogged in a while. But since then I
have still been enjoying life here in El Salvador! :) The new orphanage, "La casa de mi Padre" is really cool! We have been there twice, hopefully we will start creating more relationships with the kids there. It is absolutely crazy
that on the 18th we will have been here for a 2 months! I can't believe it!
This past week I was having some health issues and so was Abigail (we are both
okay though!) So on Monday Mario took Abigail and me to the doctor, and Leah
came with me for moral support. :) So we went to Abigail's doctor that she was
seeing first and Mario went in with her to translate. After, we went to the hospital
to see the doctor I was seeing, Mario had to leave to go pick up his kids and
Silivia to take them home. So it was just us girls seeing the doctor with no
translator... So Abigail knows more Spanish than Leah and I do so she helped
translate for me alot! Later she said that it was God who helped her translate
and that she thinks that God may be telling her to be a translator. And then we
got to thinking... What if the reason both of us were having health issues was
for God to show Abigail that she is supposed to be a medical translator or a
translator of some sort? Cool, huh?
A few weeks ago we all tried to send letters, so we
sent letters with some of the people for them to send when they went to the
post office. Turns out, the post office
was on strike. But it is back and
running now!One of my MANY favorite things to do here is to go up on our roof and either just spend some quiet time with God or to marvel at the lightening when there are storms. Which here in El Salvador storms happen a lot! Today after church I rode with Guillermo on the back of his motorcycle to Multi Plaza and then to Roberto’s house to watch the Barca/Real game! I'm beginning to feel a little bit like a legit Salvadoran. (except I still stick out like a sore thumb)Some other people from our group were supposed to come but they got lost so they decided not come. So I was the only person from our group that was there, which was completely fine and I also got to practice my Spanish a little bit more. :)
The weeks seem to be flying by, which is kinda scary!!! Before we know it, it will be December and we will be half way through our year!!! I guess its good that it’s going by fast, that means I am enjoying it! Hopefully I will be able to blog again soon!
Please keep up the blogging. I'm enjoying hearing how God is working in your life and through your life. Glad you're feeling better and are ok. FYI...Rebels won, Tigers won, Gamecocks (woo hoo) won...it's been a great weekend.
