so, i'm really starting to love wednesdays. every wednesday we have 'menores'which is time with the boys from the street. this morning we played some games, sang some worship songs, prayed in small groups, and played soccer. there were two new boys i hadn't met yet...they were both younger and absolutely adorable. i got to pray in a group with them and another volunteer. as we prayed, we held hands. the little boys rubbed my hands during the prayer and it made me want to cry. i felt so privileged to get to hold their hands because these kids usually are so distant.
it was beautiful.
when we played soccer (which i am not great at...compared to these kids) one of the boys remembered my name and wanted me to play with him. i know that is small, but it's a big deal coming from these boys and it was just great.
i really feel like god is opening their hearts to us and our to them. i can't even imagine how much i will love these kids at the end of four months. god is so good. these kids are precious. and i'm here experiencing it all. i am so blessed.

Lindsey,
WOW! What a witness,what a joy and what an example you are. I am challenged...........i too love kids and my heart breaks when i read your comments. It is obvious that you have your degree in advertising the love and power of Jesus. Love from your neighbors, we'll keep you in our prayers.
