Scorpions

Saturday was a good day with the kids.
Betty left the orphanage to be with her family and it was so sudden and unexpected. I cried.
But a lot of the kids were sad so I was there to comfort them. And Jenny didn't feel good so I was scratching her back and drawing words on her back. It was a good day back at Casa de Paz. I love those kids mucho!
I watched the Hannah Montana Movie during my break and just relaxed.
Then in the evening I was catching up on the internet stuff and decided to make some Ramen noodles. So I was cleaning out the pot in the sink. I used the sponge then put it down and walked to the clean water, got some and went back to the sink and there on top of the sponge that I was about to pick up was a SCORPION! Let me just tell you I screamed. And I do not scream. It freaked me out how fast it could be and that it can climb. So then I was afraid to even get near it for fear of it having some sort of jumping ability or something. I know nothing about scorpions other than that they can be deadly. So I was a bit scared. So I didn't want to get near it enough to attempt to kill it but I didn't want to let it out of my sight because if it was not dead I knew I would not get any sleep. So after doing some research on scorpions on the computer and talking with Aimee, I decided to get Kevin even though it was kinda late. So I walk out and there is Kevin walking towards his house. He had just let Sparky out so it was perfect timing. He used a knife to kill it. Thank God for Kevin.
Today I went to Huanchaco and Trujillo with Maribel, Betzabe, and Joel after church. We were supposed to go to a Marinera Dance Performance but Maria Esther was not able to get it so we went to lunch, to the beach, and then back to the house, played Uno twice and then left. I do not know how anyone can wear jeans around here or jackets. It kills me to wear an undershirt. It is ridiculous hot here. Bus rides are interesting when your window is broken. I was trying so hard not to get sick because I was so hot. But thankfully all was well and we had a good time. I took pictures and they are on facebook. There is a picture of the scorpion too. And then when we got back we ate some yummy food. I love Rico's.
And now I am about to go to bed.
Tomorrow starts a new week. Work with the kids.
Meg comes this weekend! YAY!
And I go to another camp next week with some more kids!
