Monday Morning!

I had such a refreshing weekend! I was able to spend even more time with the group from Philly before they left. Friday, we spent the day at Polehan! We visited the families in their home, just like I did with Christal and Wenny on Tuesday! They remembered me! We put on a program for them, and I got to help with the craft station. And I even got to help sing Making Melodies. It was hilarious! I'm hopeful to learn more language so I can return and talk with those kids more! That afternoon, 3 families from around the world came to stay for a week. We will all travel to GLC together on Thursday! Saturday morning, we had fun with kids from all around the world! My station was crafts, surprise! Followed by the infamous cream bath (not literally a bath). We enjoyed conversations and simply watching worlds collide. 1) A spanish teacher from my high school came to visit with his family. 2) And one of the ladies' sisters goes to the Mayan! She's a paralegal in L.A. and wants to help with social justice issues around the world. Prior to my departure, I met a lady who just took the bar in hopes of doing the same, and she's also connected through home! 3) Funny how the parents of these 4 families were once friends as singles, not even dating. And now, they're married, have families and are spread all around the globe. What a world I'm beginning to see!
