First things first, Trinity (the nine year old we live with), insisted that our first craft together would be to ensure that I have amailbox that goes on our room door so that we can send and receive notes todo del dia in an oh so cool way... so we made me a mailbox for our door, and already our life is more colorful :-) Last night we had four older girls from Hogar Esperanza (one of the orphanages)come over for pizza and a movie. We watched Penelope. It was super cute and fun. Jorge made homemadepizza, and it was phenomenal.
Early this morning Mary and I went on a run (we are going to try to get/stay in shape and save the world), and
I am not sure I have ever been so sweaty in my whole life. We went early to stay out of the heat, and today is relatively cool (only 90 degrees Fahrenheit with 100% humidity)...and it is only going toget hotter..
When I arrived, there were two huge boxes in the living room filled with shoeboxes full of christmas gifts - sound familiar? It is not through Samaritan's Purse, but it is similar and throughR.O.O.M. (Reach Out Orphanage Ministries, remember?). So we spent the early afternoon going through all the shoeboxes for four orphanages. We checked to make sure they were all gender and age appropriate and that they allhad a game,candy, soap, and toothpaste. One of themhad Tiffany! Then we had to pack them all up to ship or take to the four orphanages. Such a fun thing!
