The tide is changing

Once they find a new house mother, I will be working as a house mother 4 days out of the week, to help during the days off that each house mom has per week. I am going to be helping Avis with the volunteers that are coming from other countries, to stay organized and on top of that. And then there is still the possibility of me teaching English classes come March when school starts. If I am not doing that full-time I will be helping part-time.
I am also going to be helping at Wendy and Auden’s Mexican style restaurant they have in town this weekend. They are open lunch time and evenings. On my days off from being a house mom I will probably help with that. Just something else to do and to help out with. We’ll see how that goes.
Wendy and Auden are branching out and listening to the call God has placed on their hearts and going to be starting their own ministry in Trujillo. I am excited for them. Wendy is also pregnant so please keep her in your prayers, with her almost two year old child running around. The new pastor and his wife arrive this weekend and will take over after this weekend.
Lots of changes around but all glory to God that He is putting the pieces together just how He wants them for this specific time. And they are going to move the houses to all boys and all girls just because some of the kids are getting older and at that age where they are liking the opposite sex so they are taking away the temptation and that is wise and I believe necessary.
The kids LOVED their letters from you Aimee and Emily. And they asked when you were going to be returning.
I got up and sent emails out to the possible volunteers this coming year. I went and played with the girls. We played outside for a bit but it was just so hot so we went inside and played Go Fish. Then after eating lunch, I played Spoons with some of the boys. Then I played Spoons with some of the boys and girls. All the kids call me Ratita now. Not just the older kids, even the littlest kids do. It is so precious, I love it! Today Yhonson brought up the fact that he started that, it was too cute.
Then I played cards in the other house with Gerson and some of the younger kids. I showed them all pictures too and they were excited to see them. And then I had a meeting with Maribel about my schedule with being a House Mom. And it went well. I understood everything she told me but when I needed to tell her some information we had to get Kevin to translate so I really need to step up on that.
It was Missionary Night with Tom and Marianne and that went well. I saw Wendy and her and I talked for several hours together and it was good to catch up.
Gabi and I finally finished watching Kissed The Girls and now I am going to head out.
Oh wait, I think I may have said this but for the first time ever, I don’t mind taking a somewhat cold shower. Because it is so hot here. Ha ha. Crazy right? I thought so ;)
