Promised Pictures

Here are the pictures that I took on Monday and said I would post. Sorry it took so long to post them.

This week has been pretty chill with just a small group. It is a nice change of pace from my first week back that was exhausting, and then last week was semi-busy again.

Yesterday I worked and napped throughout the day. I spent some time with the kids last night. Jennifer wanted to be tickled again, as well as Lisy. I spent some time sitting with Luis Alberto and talking to him. Arianni was jumping to me at one point from the truck and counting, One, Two, Three, in English. It was adorable! I sat with Coral and Mineli later in the evening and they kept singing like the princess did in the movie Enchanted. She sings, Ohhh,Ohh,Ohh in a high pitched voice and all the animals come and help her clean. So we tried, but no animals came to help us clean! Jennifer turned the lights off and on in the comedor and I'd grab Mineli who was in my lap and scream. This was entertaining for a while until the kids got in trouble for turning the light off and on. Oops!

The kids had culto last night and sang a lot. I was next to Edison who screams instead of sings and Luis Alberto was in my lap trying to keep up with him but he would start a section of the song before everyone else! Two of the older boys were playing instruments and two of the younger boys were sitting at their feet hitting their legs with a t-shirt to bat away the mosquitos. It kind of look like child labor, although obviously it wasn't. Such a funny sight though. There is definitely a hierarchy here at the orphanage but the little kids like doing stuff to please the older ones!

The rest of the night we just hung out, I watched Indiana and Paola skate with their heelies. Indiana was trying to learn to skate with her left foot only. They share the heelies so each person only wears one. It was a fun, chill evening of just hanging out with the kids and getting to share in culto (worship) with them.

Oh and this morning while I was working out on the roof a beautiful rainbow came out through the clouds. It was very faint and then towards the end of my hardest leg set, it got very bright and you could see purple to red very clearly! It was awesome!
