Hello from Honduras. Hope all is well. Made it back down to the ministry on monday and its been a wonderful first week back in the country. The school is going wonderful and I have many more people helping to educate these girls which is terrific. I made it to town today and decided to make a blog while I have the internet, free time, and a good story. But my water pill is doing its trick so this will not be a very long blog.
We have 4 new girls at the farm. New being since i went home. New girls are always fun. Most of these girls havent ever had anybody give them attention like they deserve, so its always nice to be able to be here for that process. Where they realize that somebody has a deep interest in their lives and wellbeing. Along with that, we also get some attitudes. One of the new girls got in trouble for something the other night. It was small, but she was being disrespectful which turned things into a larger situation than it needed to be. After several conversations and time out periods, tempers were a little bit higher than they needed to be. I decided to send her to bed and we would work on it tomorrow. So I explained in my broken spanish that she has to be respectful, that it frustrates the adults when she is rude, and that we care for her and do not want her to have these types of problems which is why we work with her and discipline her. Yada, yada, right? So I was just wrapping up and sending her to bed when she made strange sound. I had heard that she had some anxiety attacks, so I quickly sat her on the couch and prepared to keep her calm and take some deep breaths. Then out of no where....EXPLOSION! Turns out when this girl gets nervous, she vomits. I do not do vomit, and apparently neither does Natali. Luckily, Amanda scooped in and took over while i pretended to do helpful things. It was interesting to say the least. Not at all how I expected that conversation to end.
Ok, but i am back. Pray for me. Pray for my girls. Pray for my staff. You focus on Christ and we are going to do the same down here.
