The kids will be here in the morning to have their closing ceremony at school, and then I will not see them for a week. It is really hard to not have the kids around, and the day is not the same without seeing their smiling faces. Ans it is just too quiet without them. But while the kids are away I will be able to focus more on my studies.
We all went to Church to day, and it was an intersting experience, because there are no kids we do not have our evening mass. But the church we went to is about 10 minutes away, and it always amazes me how much I enjoy Catholism. Since we go to mass 3 times a week, I am startig to pick up on the songs and prayers. It is very comforting though to be in a different country, but the mass is still the same. Even in Spanish I knew what was to come next. While in Church I saw a teenager fix her mother´s hair and it made me smile, because it remined me of me and my mother, who I greatly miss. After mass we had lunch, and after 3 weeks I have mastered the art of doing laundry here. I am quite proud of myself. We just finished watching the Mexico Soccer game and I was suprised how much I enjoyed it. I am quickly becoming a fan.
Hopefully my Spanish will continue to come along, I can understand but I for some reason have a hard time speaking it. But even with the language barrier I have been able to communicate with the kids. I know in my heart this is where I am supposed to be, and the language will come eventually I have to just practice, and continue to pray, which I have been doing in Spanish every night, and I am quickly learning the Our Father and Hail Mary. But it makes me happy to be here, and the smiles on the kids faces is worth it to me.
