Today was extremely busy. I spent my morning washing the feet of several children. One child I had laughed every time I touched his feet. He was absolutely adorable. The kids were so happy to receive their new shoes and socks and even if we didn't have shoes in their size, they were happy to get new socks. My group this morning did an outstanding job of making the kids laugh and the soldiers are absolutely wonderful. I thoroughly enjoy working with them and hope to get moe names.
This afternoon I was in children's which is where we play with the kids and read them bible stories while Jose interprets the stories into Spanish. The kids seem to enjoy stories and the crayons they got. They really seemed to like playing soccer and the parachute game where you put a ball in the center of a parachute and have the kids pull it tight. The idea is to keep the ball in the parachute.
We had a little time left over after most of the kids left, so we played with the kids. They loved coming over and tickling our sides. We would act like it was extremely ticklish so they would do it some more. I gave Jason some candy I bought and he took it out to give to the kids. He really didn't have a chance to hand it out as he was mobbed. The candy quickly disappeared. It was great.
I have to say that so far I prefer to work in shoes and socks. I really feel like that is where I'm supposed to be.
We are taking extra shoes and socks to the village tomorrow. Hopefully we will have enough for those who show up.
I can't download the pictures I took due to the iPad not having a port, so it will have to wait until I return home.
I have to say that so far the kids and I are having a great time.
