The journey as offically begun. This week we where told to begin asking the lord about our internships. They gave us a list of options and I begin to pray where God would want me to go. On Wednsday we were taken to diffrent locations I chose to go to Esther´s which is a children´s home. first we had to got to the prison and i knew after begining ther it was not for me. Then we went to Esther´s the lady who was there greeted us and would not let us in because esther was not there. So I began to pray to my self that we would be let in and she called esther and our leader worked everytihng out. Finnaly we were going in as soon as i got in a little boy ran up and hugged me. I knew then this was the place for me. Then someonelse began to play with him. then I met Octavio who at first was shy but I began tickling him and warmed him up to me. He started by putting crayon shavings on my head, then he found tortillas at me, and before we left he tried to throw a rock at me. He then took me out to the colympias (swings) i didn´t know this but it sounded like fun. I pushed him and another kid ont the swings. then we wnet down the slide it was very muddy. Then he took me in there classroom where he taught me animal names before we left. then I went back on thursday and played with the kids. On friday we started our internship. I played with the kids on the swings and slide. then migul took me to play throwing hula hoop and hit me in the head. then he took me in the classroom to play ball. it was fun because everytime i would hit him with the ball he would lay down like he was dead. he would hit me in the leg or arm and i would act like i was hurt. then we wnet to play baseball on the way this little girl said to me hey sister it was fun i corrected her to say brother but she only wanted to call me sister the whole time. their rules for baseball were simple me against 5 of them, they had 6 bases, they could either hit or kick the ball, they could have 2 people on one base, and finally they could run whenever. it was a fun chaotic mess. So look forward to more funny stories from me about Esther´s. hopefully know major injuries to report.
