Hey, It´s been a while since we have written. There has been a lot going on like normal and Lydia was really sick yesterday, so we didn´t get out of there. I have been feeling better some what. We are taking more time off since we worked for the first few weeks without and break and almost went crazy. Wed. was about the worst day. I was really sick and just worn out so we were going to stay home from church and as soon as Anabel found out she asked to leave the 4 little ones home. We said yes, since we knew we could just put them to bed and the house would be quiet, but suddenly the 4 youngest turned into 12 kids and we had a night mare. Somehow we survive here with Gods help. Sat. Hermano Jorge showed up and took us over to Hope House and I felt like I was going crazy. It was so quiet I didn´´t know what to do even though there is at least 11 boys living there it was quiet. We had a nice rest and went over there again after church on Sunday and did crafts with the boys. So I feel like we are finally rested enough to get back to work. Lydia was so sick yesterday we told Elvia we needed to go somewhere else. There was about 6 girls yelling at the top of their lungs all day in the bedroom and waking Lydia up for the numbest questions. I told them to be quiet and they listened for one second and went back to there yelling. They were chasing each other around with a hot iron. Anyway, we finally told Elvia we needed to go out. We were going to get a motel for the night but she told us we could stay at her house ´cause she lives right up the road from the shelter and Alegria stays there so we went back with Alegria and crashed onto this huge king size bed and just laughed we didn´t even know what to do. The bed was so comfortable it felt weird. We had an awesome time and got to sleep in. Tomorrow we are going out to eat with the ¨baby lady¨ and Fri we are going to Hope house for the day and spending the night with Havala. Continue to pray for us as we try to help all these kids. There are 2 year olds throwing tantrums and 12 year olds. There are kids screaming all day and all night. Sometimes I wonder if I will have any hair left. Another crazy thing is riding to church in a 14 passenger van with 41 people, and getting to church a half an hour late with all those kids. Hey, this is Mexican style, no reason to anything. I love it though. Can´t possible fiil you in on all the news. Hope you are all doing good. Love you all, Rachel |
