On the run

May 8, 2009 2p (day 345)
On the run this week…Monday evening we had a meeting with the house parents. Wednesday evening we took out 7 children and one set of house parents for birthday pizza. Talk about eating pizza, these kids can, plus they had ice-cream. I don’t know where they put it all. Thursday evening we had a recreation night with the older kids. They enjoyed playing games, and they really enjoyed the donuts and Pepsi that we brought. As we meet with the older kids, we hope that time will build a relationship with them where we can talk about God and life. Today, the campus celebrated día de madre (mother’s day) with a celebration in the dining hall for all the mothers. The children did a good job making the day special not only for the house moms but the missionary moms as well.
As we walked into the dining hall, I noticed Greisy standing on one of the benches. As I neared her out of the corner of my eye, I saw her launch. Yes, I caught her. I spent the next 30 minutes carrying her around and taking pictures. I have got to run. I took some video with my camera of the mother’s day party, and I need to do some editing. A bit early, but “HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY” mom. You are the best! I love you. I won’t be there Sunday to give you a hug, but know that I am praying that you have a great day. Rodney
