Sunday:
I went to church at 9 a.m. and I did not understand anything that was being said but it's all good. I went up and said a few words too. I did not know what to say because I was not prepared so I kept it short and sweet, ha ha.
After church I think I attempted to take a nap and did so off and on but the loud salsa dance place that opened up next to the orphanage was blaring the music so it was hard to rest.
I think that is when Gabi and I watched She's the Man too. But I do not remember.
Sunday night I worked at the restaurant and we played cards.
Cat came and played cards too and we talked a lot. It was good.
We had a good time. A dude from Australia came in so I talked to him for a little while.
I got to come back early which was good so I could rest because I am so tired and sick.
Today I started being a house mother.
In the morning it was fine. They had breakfast and then they checked each other's hair for lice. I went to school and got Jose to get internet to work on my computer. It was a bit difficult and I was getting worried but he did not give up and he got it to work on my computer, thank God. SO I called Joanna and talked to her and posted all of my blogs. Finally. ha ha.
And when I went back to help, they were still checking each others hair and did that for several hours more. We went outside for a while too and Norma y Lurdes painted my nails a pretty purple with orange flowers. We had dinner.
And there was some girl drama. The swapping of the houses was good but I remember the drama in the dorms. So it is to be expected in a house of 21 girls. So I ended up staying for another hour longer than usual while things were sorted out.
Please be praying for peace in the houses.
I am so tired. Things are going well. It is different but I love the kids the same, if not more.

i love your blogs, they always bring tears of joy to my eyes, i need to get a job so i can come visit :)
ReplyDeleteOk so I was cracking up reading about them checking eachothers hair for lice! Makes me think of all the work we did last summer and how lice is probably impossible to kick there but at least maybe it isnt uh that bad. Sounds like Norma y Lurdes did a great job on your nails!! I was wondering about that (drama - since so many girls would b togehter!) Glad you got everything sorted out. I am sure it will just take some time to get use to everything you know.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelley. I love you friend. You are always more than welcome to visit.

Yeah, I remember them doing it some last year when I was here but never really that much. They really were eliminating. Yeah, It is still a problem here which makes me a bit nervous. But I have vinegar and tea tree oil so hopefully I will be fine.
Yeah, drama is to be expected, just as long as it is taken care of appropriately.
Hey Rita!
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't contacted you yet...I just got caught up on all of your blogs! Glad you are enjoying your time so far, seems like it's never a dull moment! Stay heathly and get rest when you can! You're used to girl drama...3 sisters! :) I love you and will continue to lift you up in my prayers!! Random question...do you know an 8-9 yr old girl who would want to be a pen pal when a Lincoln girl? Or I was thinking maybe you could possibly do it?! Let me know if you're interested! Love you sister! :)Eleanor
