Buenos Dias Everyone!
We just got back from church and I wanted to come write a quick post before the day gets kind of crazy. Right now, George and Karen are cooking hot dogs for our cookout with the kids. Afterwards, we will play games and hang out until the baby shower tonight.
This morning we got to sleep in with church being this morning. We ate breakfast with the kids, then got ready. The girls spent a lot of time and effort making sure they looked presentable. The girls stood in line to get their hair fixed and made sure no dirt was on their shoes before leaving the house. We then walked over to the boys home to have our devotional. Anderson, one of the older boys (11) told the story of Noah, while Catherine translated. He was very passionate about God's promise and encouraged us in that. They also sang Open the Eyes of My Heart to us in Spanish (awesome).
The service we went to was just up the street, so we walked over after our devotion time.Church was about three hours long, but not nearly as hot as we thought it would be. I will admit, it was kind of difficult understanding the sermon, but the worship was so great. Even though we didn't know what we were singing, it was still great to be in worship with everyone.
We are having a great time getting to know the girls. They are so affectionate, always wanting hugs and kissing our cheeks. It's great to watch the interaction between those that have been coming for some time with the kids who have been here a while. From the second we got here yesterday, each kid was excited to see Senior Queso (Kyle) and Senior Bigote (Eric's nickname, which means mustache), but as we spend more time, they are getting just as excited to see new faces.
Heading back to the girl's home for lunch, but I'll be sure to report back tonight!
