Australians anyone?

So when the Canadians were here, we were greatly blessed.
It was a time of stretching and encouragement and prayer and seeing God work in great and mighty ways. And it was such an honor to be a part of their ministry opportunities. To become like family and to share hearts with one another.
And then they left and the testing began.
And I think I really failed in some areas but God's helping me out to getting things back on track and I am leaning on Him, His grace, love, and forgiveness and really trusting in Him to see me through any and all circumstances.
Saturday-Monday were tough days for Heather. Monday was when we got some laughs out of her and some shimmer of hope, that the pain was decreasing. Saturday I stayed with Heather all day except went into town for lunch with Kat.
Kat went to Trujillo and paid the rest of the money for the hospital bills.
And then Sunday was church and the beach and I went and did my thing and took care of Heather in between. I shouldn't have gone afterwards I Realized even though Heather told me to go. But we talked it out and everything is cool.
Monday night was the first night that Heather went outside of the compound.
We went into town for a walk on the beach and she was just taking it all in. Then we ate at La Estacion. It was so funny. We walked up as two Australians were walking out and we sat at our table and they were totally lingering so they could talk to us. We had some good conversation for like 10 minutes. It was so funny when they realized we were Christians. One of them was totally turned off and the other seemed to like the idea of us being Christians. And he was all like, so they actually let you out of the orphanage? And we laughed and were all like, yes, we are out of the orphanage right now, aren't we? ha ha!
After dinner we got ice cream and there was Jet peanut butter ice cream bar with chocolate on the outside and it was great!
Yesterday we played some Skip-Bo and then we ventured out in the evening for dinner at the Mexican restaurant with Steve and Mike, the two english teachers. We had really great conversation and yummy food. It was glorious.
And then we went afterwards to go to the grocery store and we ran into the Australians and two of their other friends and they waved and were like, they actually let you out again? And I laughed and was like, yeah. And told them about the Mexican restaurant and how good it is.
Then after the grocery store we went to get ice cream and came back to the surf shop for Heather to look for sweats and the Australians were in their again and they were like, so you're stalking us now? And we laughed and were like NO! ha ha! Because we definitely were not. It was all coincidental.
Heather looked around and I bought a hat in one of the other stores and then we came back.
Today is laundry day and we are going to try to spend some time with the kids later.
I miss the kids. I have not spent time with them since Thursday. On Sunday Lurdes had me sit buy her and she asked me if I was still her mom. And I said yes. But they have a new house mom now so I will not be in the house anymore I do not think. At least not as a house mom. The tides are changing once again.
Please be praying for me. I really need the strength of the Lord.
