So all this time with the 9 4-5 year olds has been great but exhausting. And it is a challenge for me, not gonna lie. I love little kids, really I do. I mean I have the greatest nieces and nephews in all the world.
But for me, I am better with older kids. Especially when it comes to language barriers. So it is definitely a stretch but that is definitely not a bad thing at all. And these kids are precious and adorable and need all the love and affection in the world that they can be given.
And man oh man, times with Danilo are great. But they are adventures in themselves. We went to the playground outside of the orphanage, with Kat, and it went well, other than him wanting to pee out in the open for all the other kids to see. And then the next day we went to the other playground by the beach but he did not like it as much. Loves the moto rides. And walking along the beach but not near the water. We got ice cream and went and sat for a long while in the shade. And then yesterday we went and got something to drink along the beach, went to the playground by the beach, went up on top of the hotel on the beach and looked at the view and went in the elevator (Which he was amazed by) and then took a moto back. He loves those motos. ha ha. Anyway he started acting up yesterday so today we did not take him out and that was way more difficult than when we actually take him out. So yeah.
Sunday was our day off and we were pretty much at the beach the entire day, minus church, lunch and dinner. ha ha.
Heather and I have been watching One Tree Hill. We started about half way into Season 4 and we are on Season 5 now. We are trying to read a lot too lately. She reads more than I do. But anyway, we are moving into another house on the compound sometime within the next week. And my internet should be fixed within the week so I can use skype again. Praise God.
Please keep me and Heather in your prayers. God is definitely working in our hearts and distractions are near and far in between. But we are pressing forward and being there for one another. God sure is faithful.
Sending my love to everyone.

I love how you have certain times to spend with the kids! That really seems like good time where you can really invest in them! Even if you are just sitting next to them saying nothing! I am sure they are all greatly blessed by your presence! Yeah for you being able to skype soon!!!! I can't wait! Where will you be moving to? Oh OTH! Love it! That seems like a pretty good way to spend some of that time just relaxing! Makes me think of when I got to come visit you and watch it! Oh great times!
