So Many Blessing

Right now there is almost 15 children playing outside my room. They are pushing each other in a little yellow cart. They're so loud I can't hear my CD player. It's OK though. They're laughter sounds better then any music I have. Who am I that God would bless me so much? Everyday he places more love inside my heart. Compassion is such a wonderful gift to receive. My cup runneth over!
I was able to visit Josh and Cayla yesterday. It was so good seeing my friends. We went to a beautiful beach and then a women's soccer game. Lucson, the man they stay with, is doing well. His children are healthy and happy. They gave me a bracelet that has my name sewn into it. I love it. I don't think I'll ever take it off. Class went well today. However, they are catching on quicker then I expected. I have to adjust my lesson plan for next time. They are so smart! I'm going to start given them vocabulary words to memorize every week. I think I'll write the word in English then in Creole. That will teach me, as well. I cant wait until I can speak their language. Its driving me crazy! I've learned a lot since I got here, though. I can pick up one or two words in most conversations. So I have a small idea of whats being said. It will come. Everything takes time, and I have the rest of my life to learn.

Oh, Carrie, please keep posting on here. I love knowing what you're experiencing. Your joy is loud and clear. Thanks for letting me know Cay and Josh are good. I find myself wanting to text them at least a couple times a day.
