Update....It´s been a while!

1) I cancelled my CdE blogger sites because someone got a little bit upset about it... I don´t want to fight, so I just got rid of it. It´s a sad sad thing.

2) Teaching in town is growing to be a more interesting experience every week. This week was our first week back after a 2 week spring break, and it was really good. I really do love and care for these kids.

3) I am currently in a punishment mode from the orphanage. I was bringing the boy I sponsor too much food and things. I also hug and kiss all of the kids too much. Apparently, there´s a time limit to how long you should hug a kid...

I haven´t been allowed on the property since Sunday. They were going to allow me back yesterday, but Humberto tried running away the day before. The found him - thank you Jesus! Yet, now he´s being punished by me not being allowed on the property. This should have shown them how much he needs his madre! Oh well, I´m just helping out with the off site work project so I can still spend time with some of the kiddos and help out. I should be allowed back on the property soon. This punishment period is good for a variety of reasons - it helps me be a better steward of my money, it helps him realize that we have to follow the rules, it teaches us patience to when we can be mother and son.

I am almost done reading Blue Like Jazz. I only have 2 more chapters and it has been amazing. Last night I read 3 chapters about being a good steward with money, love, and fellowship. I am always sad when I start to get to the end of a good book... Sometimes I just never want them to end. I am excited to read the new book by Shane Claiborne though that Keith was talking about. I love his writing and perspective.

Oh, one more thing. I am praying about moving back to the states in June after school is out... Okay, maybe July. I want to adopt the boy I sponsor and so there´s a lot of stuff that I would need to do in the states that I couldn´t do here. Pray that the Lord will guide me as this is a big change.

Oh, and my cough is gone... like gone gone. I have some allergies, but that should be expected living in a dust filled city. :)
