Actually I returned to visit Pamela, but that title sounds cooler.
In case you don’t remember, Pamela is my new best friend. She is a beautiful 6 year old with a heart of gold. She quickly stole my heart, and now Monday has become one of my favorite days of the week. Mondays from 11:30-1:30 we bring lunch to the kindergartners at a children’s home (kinda like an orphanage) and play with them for a little while. I am currently investigating how I can get more involved at this children’s home; and if I can afford the time/money it would require of me.
In other news…
Last week we had a group of visitors from a church at the University of Michigan. It was lots of fun. They were a small group and pretty laid back; so it wasn’t stressful at all. We got to evangelize with lots of people, and have made some new friends, new relationships, and some new converts!
I’ve got this week to get back to visit all “my kids” and this Saturday another group of visitors will come. What better way to use a spring break off of classes than to come serve in Mexico!! I’m looking forward to more Americans being around; and hopefully winning more people to Christ through them and their service!
Please pray for me this Saturday as I will be in charge of the youth group (jr. high and high schoolers). Normally this would not be a big deal; as I have experience in this area, and I love helping out every Saturday. But I’m a little nervous about the language issue. Teenagers are difficult to understand in English (due to poor pronunciation, grammar, and slang) let alone a second language. I’m not worried about the kids, they’re good kids, and have always respected me. I just want to be able to convey a clear message to them, and understand their responses and concerns. I think it will be lots of fun!
