My heart has been melted.

Everything is still ging great here!  We recently started a new ministry with one of the near by schools!  Last Thursday was the first day, we went on a field trip/retreat with them.  We helped the high schoolers with the younger kids and the activities they had planned.  It was a great day! At the end each group broke into small groups.  Abigail was able to give her testimony in Spanish to the group of kids we were with.  It was so amazing to watch her glorify the Lord.  At the end a woman walked around and prayed for each of us, the kids, the high schoolers, and the three of us gringas.  It was definitely a blessing, even though she was speaking very fast and in Spanish it was such a beautiful blessing. 

The past two weeks at Exodo have been so wonderful! (Not that all the other times haven't been wonderful because they have!)  But, I was able to help some of the boys with their homework and even though some of them didn't want to, it was a blessing for me to be able to help them.  And again, this past week we helped most of them with their homework. But those who didn't have homework or finished we just showed them love and played with them.  I was able to braid Carolina's hair, which I usually do each week.  Before I came here I could not really french braid at all and now i can! Thanks to Carolina for letting me do her hair each week. :)  I also spent some time with Ceaser who except for the week before I haven't really spent much time with him.  Well let me tell you, he just melted my heart.  The picture below is of Ceaser when we first got here so he has grown up some.  Each week I fall more and more in love with these kids.  It already breaks my heart just when I think about leaving them in only 2 months. 

 

Next week is Holy Week so we won't have any of our normal ministries or classes.  It's a surprise as to what we will be doing!
