Your Life is a Symphony

So this past week life has been very different than I expected it ever to become here.
Time without the kids and time to do whatever. And although we've had fun, I've missed the kids more everyday.
I came here for them. So a day off a week is plenty. I like being surrounded by them almost all day.
And for a while there I felt like I would have to start all over with relationships because some of them were not being very nice to me but apparently it is because they were jealous that I was spending so much time with Heather. So Maribel and I explained that I have been with Heather through her recovery because she needed someone to be taking care of her and making sure she did not push it too much. So things are better now.
I am going to be in school again today for the first time since the Canadians were here. That's a long time.
Maribel and Kevin are putting together a weekly schedule of activities for me and Heather to do with the kids on the weekends. So I think during the week days I am just going to have to immerse myself with the kids and play with them outside and such.
Kat and I are starting to run on the beach because she is running the marathon in July and I am debating entering to do the 5K.
Heather will be walking for now, she has another 2 1/2 weeks before we'll allow her to run. ha ha.
And I have had some interesting cultural experiences as of late. Went to a Quinceanera for someone not in the orphanage and theirs was much more different than the ones we do for the girls at the orphanage.
I have had a lot of time at the beach lately too and I am getting lots of sun and freckles :)
The electricity has gone out 3 times in the last 4 days. Always at like 8 at night and stays out until the middle of the night.
Heather and I took our post on the swings again and talked with Mike for a bit.
This week is Holy week here. No one has school on Thursday and Friday.
Prayer requests would be for Heather and I both to continue to have the strength of the Lord, wisdom of the Lord, discernment, and purity of heart and mind. Also that no deception would enter our minds or hearts.
Prayer for others would just be that we would be the salt and light to all we encounter, never forgetting our purpose here.
