Love Saturdays

Woke up this morning not feeling very good, but I slept it off then went to work with the kiddos. I love getting to see those kids every week. This week Karla read about Daniel and the Lion's Den and then we colored a sheet going along with the theme. Also, the number of children grew this week, we had a few new kids, which is always really exciting to see.

Before we started, everyone was waiting around for an hour because the house was locked (this happens every week) so the kids and I got to play some games. I tried to practice my Spanish and I definitely practiced listening. Brandon, is like the leader of the kids, he cracks me up. He explained two new games to me and of course I lost every time. I also practiced the song Father Abraham in English with them and then we tried it in Spanish. Then it was time for the lesson and coloring.

Besides, watching the children pray and hearing them laugh my third favorite thing is watching them color. All of the children love coloring, but most of them do not have crayons or coloring books in their homes. There is one little boy in particular who really loves to color, I love seeing his finished pictures each week. I really enjoy watching him color, he gets so serious when he is trying to make the picture perfect and then if he messes up he just gets ridiculous and laughs and colors the picture with a bunch of crazy colors. It is so much fun to watch.
